Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,
Brothers and Sisters in Christ,
Each time we gather to celebrate Mass we are participating in and publicly giving witness to the presence of Christ in the Holy Eucharist.
It is through the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass that Jesus becomes present — body, blood, soul and divinity — in the gift of the Eucharist.
This year the Archbishop’s Annual Appeal has chosen the theme of His Sacrifice, and ours! It is because of the sacrifice made by the generous donors of the Archbishop’s Annual Appeal that we are able to provide much-needed help to thousands of people each year by charitably meeting the needs of those individuals and families
His Sacrifice, and ours! reminds us that it is His sacrifice on the cross which inspires us to make sacrifices of our own in order to help others whose need is greater than ours.
Please share generously the time, talent and treasure that God has bestowed upon you, so that together we can continue our ministries that enrich, nurture and foster the spiritual and material well-being of individuals, families and communities throughout the Hartford, New Haven and Litchfield counties.
God bless you.
The Most Reverend Leonard P. Blair
Archbishop of Hartford

Saint Theodora Guerin
Saint Theodora Guérin’s Story
Trust in God’s Providence enabled Mother Theodore to leave her homeland, sail halfway around the world, and found a new religious congregation.
Born in Etables, France, Anne-Thérèse Guérin’s life was shattered by her father’s murder when she was 15. For several years she cared for her mother and younger sister. She entered the Sisters of Providence in 1823, taking the name Sister Saint Theodore. An illness during novitiate left her with lifelong fragile health, but that did not keep her from becoming an accomplished teacher.
At the invitation of the bishop of Vincennes, Indiana, Sr. Saint Theodore and five sisters were sent to Saint Mary-of-the-Woods, Indiana, in 1840, to teach and to care for the sick poor. She was to establish a motherhouse and novitiate. Only later did she learn that her French superiors had already decided the sisters in the United States should form a new religious congregation under her leadership.
Mother Theodore and her community persevered despite fires, crop failures, prejudice against Catholic women religious, misunderstandings, and separation from their original religious congregation. She once told her sisters, “Have confidence in the Providence that so far has never failed us. The way is not yet clear. Grope along slowly. Do not press matters; be patient, be trustful.” Another time she asked, “With Jesus, what shall we have to fear?”
Mother Theodore was buried in the Church of the Immaculate Conception, now the Shrine of St. Mother Theodore, in Saint Mary-of-the-Woods, Indiana. She was beatified in 1998, and canonized as Saint Theodora Guérin eight years later. Taken from and Read more:
