CT Catholic Conference Executive Director Speaks Out to Stop Assisted Suicide

A proposal will be heard in a public hearing this Friday before the Connecticut Legislature’s Public Health Committee that would allow doctors and others to help our fellow brothers and sisters take their own lives without safeguards and often through painful means. In this video, Chris Healy, Executive Director of the Connecticut Catholic Conference, explains how you can use your voice to make it known to lawmakers in Connecticut that life is sacred, and suicide is not the answer.

Pope Leo's Cancer was Localized, and no Further Treatment Needed, Vatican Says

It makes tangible an ancient truth of the faith: the saints are not distant figures of the past, but friends who remain very much a part of the Church today. To walk the hallway leading to the chapel at the Motherhouse in Baltic, Connecticut, is to pass through centuries of Catholic history. Behind glass, reliquaries bear the names of men and women who lived in different countries, embraced dif...

Join the Diocesan 40 Days for Life Campaign in Prayer

We still have 10 days to get out and pray at one of the two Planned Parenthood locations during our Diocesan 40 Days For Life Campaign!

Imagine the impact—just one mother deciding to cancel her appointment and choosing Life! Throughout Scripture, Jesus and the ange...
