The Reverend Joseph Crowley announced that a parishioner had witnessed the divine happening on March 5

An Archdiocese in Connecticut is investigating after a priest claimed a parishioner witnessed a miracle during Mass.

The Reverend Joseph Crowley announced that a parishioner had witnessed the divine happening on March 5.

He claims the Communion hosts, more commonly referred to as wafers, had multiplied in the ciborium tin at St Thomas Catholic Church in Thomaston.

During the visibly emotional address, Rev Crowley said: ‘One of our eucharistic ministers was running out of hosts and suddenly there were more hosts in the ciborium. God just duplicated himself in the ciborium.’

In video footage he explained that by the time communion was over there were just as many, if not more, of the hosts inside of the ciborium – which hold the wafers.

The clergyman described the suspected miracle as ‘very powerful, very awesome, very real, very shocking.’

He added: ‘It’s really, really cool when God does these things, and it’s really, really cool when we realize what he’s done.’

The so-called eucharist miracles are exceedingly rare, with only 152 of them ever being recognized by the Roman Catholic Church.

Since the beginning of the 21st century there have only been four, according to the Catholic News Agency.

Shaina Pia of Stratford, grew up going to the church, and drove to the building to pray for those who need prayers and miracles.

She told WFSB: ‘It’s just so beautiful. God has been working so many miracles in our lives lately.

‘I think this is just a beautiful reminder from God during times that are challenging there’s always good in the world and that God is always present and with us,’

The investigation into the latest occurrence in Connecticut could take up to two weeks to be decided and is being studied by the Archdiocese of Hartford.

Archbishop Leonard Blair issued a statement to the Hartford Courant on Tuesday, confirming the investigation

Archbishop Leonard Blair issued a statement to the Hartford Courant on Tuesday, confirming the investigation.

He added that if the report of the miracle in Thomaston is verified, it ‘would constitute a sign or wonder that can only be attributed to divine power to strengthen our faith in the daily miracle of the Most Holy Eucharist.’

St Thomas Church has previously been associated with another miracle, along with their parish priest Blessed Michael McGivney.

McGivney, who served as a parish priest there in the late 19th century, founded the Knights of Columbus, the world’s largest Catholic fraternal order.

He was beatified by Pope Francis in 2020 in recognition of a miracle that was attributed to him involving a baby who was healed inside his mother’s womb.
