Reported Miracle At CT Church Under Investigation By Diocese: Reports

THOMASTON, CT — Just in time for the Easter season, the Archdiocese of Hartford is investigating whether a miracle occurred at a local church, according to media reports.

The Rev. Joseph Crowley, who is the pastor of St. Thomas Church in Thomaston, Conn., said "We had something happen," at a mass on March 5, according to Fox 61.

What was this miracle?

The church was running low on hosts for communion and when Crowley went to look for more, "the hosts reportedly multiplied several times over," Fox 61 reported. Crowley called the sudden appearance of the hosts a "miracle."

Crowley, according to WFSB 3 TV, said, "the Eucharist really is the body soul and divinity of Jesus Christ and that all things are possible with God." Crowley said as communion ended, there appeared to be more hosts than when they had first begun, WFSB 3 TV reported.

According to the Catholic News Agency, Crowley said, "It’s really, really cool when God does these things...Very powerful, very awesome, very real, very shocking."

“...So today not only did we have the miracle of the Eucharist, we also had a bigger miracle. It’s pretty cool,” Crowley said via Catholic News Agency.

The investigation of the miracle

The archdiocese is investigating the claim of the miracle, which could take up to two weeks to complete, and it may involve some forensics or science, church leaders told Fox 61. Depending on the outcome of the investigation, the Vatican may need to be notified.
