Once again, my deepest thanks to our parishioners for the support both of our 2023 Advent Giving Tree program, which raised more than $71,000 in support of the Knights of Malta House of Care and our parish’s Neighbors in Need fund. The total collected during Advent was divided nearly evenly. This generosity will enable the Knights of Malta to expand their free healthcare to greater Hartford area residents, as well as assist Hartford’s hospitals, St. Francis and Hartford Hospital, by reducing the strain on their emergency departments. Malta House of Care provides quality medical diagnosis and ongoing treatment with compassionate care.
In addition, our parish’s Neighbors in Need fund will be able to continue to provide financial assistance to alleviate food insecurity, assist with paying for electricity, heat and other household needs as well as assist with automobile repairs and co-pays for prescriptions. Thank you and may the many blessings of God rest upon you and those you love. “Amen, I say to you, whatever you did for one of these least brothers of mine, you did for me.” Mt 25:40
