Religious Discrimination in Connecticut


SEND A CLEAR MESSAGE TO OUR ELECTED OFFICIALS:

RELIGIOUS DISCRIMINATION CAN NOT AND WILL NOT BE TOLERATED IN CONNECTICUT.

Sign Our Petition

Recently, a disturbing video laced with anti-Catholic sentiments emerged out of Greenwich, CT. It serves as a warning sign that our culture is heading backward instead of forward on religious tolerance.

In the video, a public elementary school assistant principal in Greenwich says that he does not hire Catholics because they may be too conservative in their beliefs. They may have been "brainwashed" by their church.

Go to ctcatholicsunite.org to watch the video,
read more on the issue, and sign the petition.

Padre Pio’s Devotional Joy Leads Us to the Christmas Open House
*Padre Pio and the Humble Mystery of the Incarnation* For Padre Pio, the heart of December was never noise or celebration—it was wonder. He was profoundly moved by the mystery of the Incarnation, the moment when God chose to enter the world in the smallest and simplest of forms. The humility of the Christ Child touched him deeply. Witnesses often noted that even the mention of the Infant Jesus brought a tenderness to his face and a quiet reverence to his voice. Though Padre Pio did not write extensively about the liturgical days leading up to Christmas, th...

Sharing Christmas Hope: A Diocesan Effort to Lift Spirits This Season
As the Advent season approaches and our hearts turn toward the light of Christ, the Diocesan Evangelization and Discipleship team is inviting the faithful to take part in a simple yet meaningful act of charity. This year, the team is collecting unused Christmas cards that will be lovingly written out by the youth of our diocese and delivered to the patrons of St. Vincent de Paul Place, Norwich.
