Catholic Charities Supports Our Veterans - Stand Down Day 2023

The CT Department of Veterans Affairs will be hosting Stand Down Day on September 22, 2023, and Catholic Charities will be a proud participant. The annual event will be held at Easter Seals Rally Point. 24 Stott Avenue in the Norwich Industrial Park, between 8:00 and 2:00pm and the CT Department of Transportation will provide free bus transportation. Please look at the CT Department of VA Affairs website for the bus schedule. One of the goals of Stand Down Day is to provide Veterans access to federal, state, and local nonprofit agencies. Catholic Charities will provide canned goods, assist with SNAP applications, and explain the many services Catholic Charities provides to our Diocese.

If you would like to support this event with a financial donation for food for our veterans, please send a check to Catholic Charities 331 Main Street Norwich, CT 06360, or bring your canned goods to the same address. Mittens or gloves are always a welcome gift to our veterans.

Remembering September 11th- Mercies in Disguise

Sometimes, the best stories come from unexpected moments of inspiration. Recently, I had a unique experience attending Mass at St. Columba in Columbia. Originally, I hadn't planned on going there; the church I regularly attend had canceled the early Mass for the summer. At the same time, I was struggling to find a topic for this month's Four County Catholic article. Writer's block had hit me hard, and the deadlines were looming. During the Communion meditation, something remarkable happened. My eyes caught sight of a large plaque on the wall listing the corporal...

Research shows 95 percent of people have an interior dialogue with themselves and 25 percent talk to themselves out loud. I confess. I’m one of the 95 percent … and, I hesitate to say this, I’m one of the 25 percent. While I was wandering through the supermarket the other day, I had this conversation, with myself: “Look at these prices! How can anyone afford groceries nowadays?” “It’s terrible!” I just hope no one heard me, and if they didn’t, it was probably because they were talking to themselves. This ...

Pope St. John Paul II Hiking Club Blends Faith, Friends and the Beauty of God’s Creation

Pope St. John Paul II, who had a passion for the great outdoors and used it to evangelize the Catholic faith, is inspiring others locally to do the same. Suzi Porter, leader of a women’s Bible study group at the Basilica of the Immaculate Conception in Waterbury, was driving to a class last March when she felt called to start a Catholic hiking group and name it after the saint and former pope. “Our former Pope loved the outdoors and I had seen pictures of him hiking and skiing and kayaking well into his senior years,” Porter says. “I thought wh...
