Coping with Life Alone  . . . In the Beginning

Program Offers Support for the Loss of a Marriage Relationship

If you are widowed, separated, or divorced and want help in resolving the pain and grief of losing the marriage relationship and create a more peace-filled future, consider attending a Beginning Experience one-day event. The next one, entitled Coping with Life Alone…In the Beginning, will take place Saturday, June 19 either in person or via zoom.

It consists of a series of presentations given by trained peer ministers who share their own experiences of grief, healing, and closure following the loss of the marriage relationship. Presentations are given by both a widowed and a divorced person who share their personal yet different perspectives on similar types of feelings. Each talk is followed by personal, private reflection for participants to write on a series of guided questions geared toward helping them identify the feelings they are experiencing.

For more information about this event or Beginning Experience weekends, call Victoria A. at 860-993-5469 or email info@BeginningExperieincect.org or visit their website at BeginningExperienceCT.org

Pope Leo's Cancer was Localized, and no Further Treatment Needed, Vatican Says
VATICAN CITY (CNS) -- Pope Leo XIV will not need further cancer treatment, the Vatican announced. Final examinations of the tissue removed during his lung surgery confirmed that the cancer was lung adenocarcinoma and it was localized; an oncological evaluation determined that no additional therapy was necessary, according to a Vatican communique released late Oct. 21. The news came just over a week after the pope underwent surgery Oct. 13 at Rome's Gemelli hospital to remove the lower lobe of his right lung. Medical tests had detected a suspicious growth that was ...

Among Friends: Encountering the Saints in Baltic
  At the Motherhouse of the Sisters of Charity of Our Lady, Mother of the Church, an extraordinary collection of relics offers more than a glimpse into Catholic history. 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...

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! This past Wednesday, three parishes were out praying and witnessing at the new New London Planned Parenthood on 467 Ocean Ave. At one point, 12 prayer warriors stood together on the sidewalk, offering their presence and prayers even as the facility was quite busy with clients coming and going. Imagine the impact—just one mother deciding to cancel her appointment and choosing Life! Throughout Scripture, Jesus and the ange...
