Connecticut's First March for Life Coming April 15

Posted on March 05, 2020 in: News, ProLife

Connecticut's First March for Life Coming April 15

The National March for Life organization, in cooperation with the Connecticut Catholic Public Affairs Conference and the Family Institute of Connecticut, are holding Connecticut’s first official March for Life event on April 15, 2020 at the State Capitol.

The March will be a time for Connecticut citizens to express their support for the life of the unborn and their opposition to euthanasia and physician-assisted suicide. Although the issues which the March will address are controversial in our society, people of faith must speak the truth and follow the Gospel imperative to be a light unto the world. We will be joined by our brothers and sisters of all faiths in this major demonstration.

SCHEDULE:

9:30 a.m.: Doors Open – Bushnell Theater, 166 Capitol Avenue, Hartford, CT 06103
Assemble for a Pre-March Short Program
10:00 a.m.: Pre-March Short Program begins at the Bushnell
11:15 a.m.: 1st Official CT March for Life – March begins at the Bushnell

Unwrapping the Stories Behind Our Favorite Carols

When my children were in grade school, we hosted several caroling parties in December. Family and friends would pile into the house, and I’d hand out little songbooks I had put together. After a short practice session in the living room, where I could see the Cathedral from the window, we would set out into the neighborhood. We stopped at houses along the way, including the rectory and the bishop’s house, before ending at Sheltering Arms, a senior residence in Norwich. The night always ended back at home with mugs of hot chocolate and slow cookers f...
