2021 ARCHBISHOP’S ANNUAL APPEAL
Reaching Out, Healing Together
This weekend marks the start of the 2021 Archbishop’s Annual Appeal in our parish. If you did not receive the 2021 Archbishop’s Annual Appeal request mailing, please pick up a packet at the rear of Church as you leave today. As Catholics in the Archdiocese of Hartford we have a profound impact on our local communities not only in the spiritual realm, but intimately connected to it, the realm of social services and many charities and outreach services performed by, or with help from, our Church.
• For the fifth year in a row, in 2020 the Archbishop’s Annual Appeal Vicariate Outreach Program provided over $1,000,000 to over 200 local organizations in Hartford, Litchfield and New Haven counties.
• Organizations such as the Enfield Food Shelf, Little Sisters of the Poor, and the St. Vincent de Paul Society right here in our own town received funding from the Appeal’s Vicariate Outreach Program that makes a difference in serving our neighbors.
All funds contributed to the Archbishop’s Annual Appeal are used exclusively for the purposes outlined in the Appeal literature, which can be found at

No Appeal funds are ever used for legal fees or settlements.
