Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,
When we attend Mass and celebrate the Eucharist we hear the priest say, Do This in Memory of Me. These words were first spoken at the Last Supper by Jesus the night before he suffered and died on the cross, offering the ultimate sacrifice. In the Eucharist Jesus gives us the gift of Himself – body and blood, soul and divinity – so that with St. Paul we too can say “yet I live, no longer I, but Christ lives in me.” We are called to imitate what we celebrate. As Christ has done, so must we do.
Do This in Memory of Me is therefore a fitting theme of the 2024
Archbishop’s Annual Appeal. Our “gift of self” in imitation of Christ means that we are following His command to love our neighbor and to make our own sacrifices for those in spiritual and material need.
The 2024 Archbishop’s Annual Appeal presents a unique opportunity to combine all of our individual sacrificial gifts in order to accomplish even more together as one family of faith.
I invite you to share generously the time, talent, and treasure that God has bestowed on you, so that together we can enrich, nurture, and foster the spiritual and material well-being of individuals, families, and communities throughout Hartford, New Haven, and Litchfield Counties.
Please review this brochure which illustrates some of the many ways that Do This in Memory of Me inspires the life and outreach of the Church in our local parishes and communities.
God bless you.
The Most Reverend Leonard P. Blair
Archbishop of Hartford

Saint of the Day – Saint Margaret of Cortona – 16May2024
Saint Margaret of Cortona’s Story
Margaret was born of farming parents in Laviano, Tuscany. Her mother died when Margaret was seven; life with her stepmother was so difficult that Margaret moved out. For nine years she lived with Arsenio, though they were not married, and she bore him a son. In those years, she had doubts about her situation. Somewhat like Saint Augustine, she prayed for purity—but not just yet.
One day she was waiting for Arsenio and was instead met by his dog. The animal led Margaret into the forest where she found Arsenio murdered. This crime shocked Margaret into a life of penance. She and her son returned to Laviano, where she was not well received by her stepmother. They then went to Cortona, where her son eventually became a friar.
In 1277, three years after her conversion, Margaret became a Franciscan tertiary. Under the direction of her confessor, who sometimes had to order her to moderate her self-denial, she pursued a life of prayer and penance at Cortona. There she established a hospital and founded a congregation of tertiary sisters. The poor and humble Margaret was, like Francis, devoted to the Eucharist and to the passion of Jesus. These devotions fueled her great charity and drew sinners to her for advice and inspiration. She was canonized in 1728. St. Margaret of Cortona’s liturgical feast is celebrated on February 22.
