Lifting the Burden: Help Catholic Charities by Donating Baby Supplies

Catholic Charities has been assisting struggling families for 100 years. 

In Fiscal Year 2021 they have provided over 1,000 infant and toddler services to families in our neighborhoods. Can you help us - help those families who are facing increased hardship during this challenging time? We are in dire need of baby items such as diapers (all sizes especially 4,5 & 6), wipes, new winter clothing, formula, baby food, and baby toiletries.

Your donation will lift some of the burdens that new families are now facing. Donations can be dropped off at any of our four locations: 331 Main St Norwich 06360; 28 Huntington St. New London 06320; 151 Broad St. Middletown 06457, and 88 Jackson St. Willimantic 06226.  If you like to shop online, please consider placing an order through AmazonSmile, where a portion of your purchase will be donated to Catholic Charities if you choose, and you can have your donation shipped directly to the location of your choice!

On behalf of those we serve, THANK YOU, from the bottom of our hearts!

“Intense love does not measure, it just gives.”  - Saint Mother Teresa

A Flower in the Shadows: Choosing the Little Way When Life Feels Heavy
On October 1, the Church celebrates the feast of St. Thérèse of Lisieux, affectionately known as the Little Flower. She is remembered for her radiant trust in God and her “little way” of love. But behind her childlike faith was a life marked by deep suffering. Thérèse lost her mother to cancer at just four years old, a wound that shaped her tender childhood. Sensitive and often anxious, she clung to God for comfort. Later, in the Carmelite convent, she experienced physical weakness, misunderstandings, and at times even the coldness of fellow sisters. Tubercul...
