CAROLYN’S PLACE
A Pregnancy Care Center
137 Grandview Avenue
Waterbury, CT 06708
Thirty years ago, a small but passionate group of individuals gathered and after much research, discussion and prayer established “Carolyn’s Place” which has had a profound impact on thousands of young women, men, babies and the unborn since 1992. Due to the pandemic, Carolyn’s Place was unable to hold their usual fund-raisers and has felt a loss of nearly one-third of its annual operating budget – more than $100,000. They are asking you to prayerfully consider a donation to help offset the income loss of the past two years to ensure that Carolyn’s Place continues to move forward as an advocate for life. Donations of any amount are gratefully accepted and can be sent to:
Carolyn’s Place, 137 Grandview Avenue, Waterbury, CT 06708. (Fr. Robert Rousseau, founder; John L. Lynch, Executive Director, and Diana O’Rourke, Esq., Chair Board of Directors).

ARCHBISHOP’S ANNUAL APPEAL
The 2024 Appeal will kick-off on February 24 & 25. This yearly Appeal helps to fund many programs and assistance to those in need in the Archdiocese. All donations are greatly appreciated. Last year our parish participation was only about 18%. This year the Archdiocese has raised our parish goal to $22,000. We are hoping that more parish families, in the name of stewardship, will contribute this year – any donation amount is welcomed as we pursue our goal.
Please be assured that funds contributed to the Appeal are used ONLY for the many individuals and local charities who look to the Church for assistance and to continue those ministries that are essential to the life of the Archdiocese. The funds are never used for anything else.
