Miscellaneous : Matthew 4, 18-22 As Jesus was walking along the Sea of Galilee he watched two brothers, Simon now known as Peter, and his brother Andrew, casting a net into the sea. They were fishermen. He said to them, "Come after me and I will make you fishers of men." I'm hoping my photos are bait! Odds and ends collected along the way - some near and some far.

CT Catholic Men's Conference Oct 3, 2009 : 2nd Annual Connecticut Catholic Men's Conference, October 3, 2009, Chevrolet Theatre, Wallingford, CT. Comparable crowd to the 1st conference with 750 attendees. Break even point is 1,000 participants and, as with last year, the day was outstanding so it's a wonder the place wasn't filled. Billed as "Bring the Fire Home", those in attendance will need to do just that to make next year's event a financial success. Bishop Lori kicked off the day with a brief speech before the main speakers, Deacon Harold Burke-Sivers (EWTN), Fr Larry Richards, Michael Cumbie (Baptist minister who converted to Catholicism), and Fr Sam Kachuba (26 year old priest from Bridgeport Diocese) gave stirring presentations. All of the discussions centered on what it takes to be a real man of faith in today's world. The day concluded with Mass celebrated by Bishop Rosazza. I brought my own sons, ages 29 and 24, and they were thankful for the spiritual commraderie with each other and their dad. I am forever thankful to God that my boys want to share in our Catholic faith.

Our Lady of Sorrows Oct 15, 2006 : The Most Reverend Henry J. Mansell, Archbishop of Hartford, celebrated in Spanish the Mass in Honor of Our Lord of the Miracles at Our Lady of Sorrows Parish in Hartford, CT on Sunday, October 15, 2006. A prayerful procession through the adjacent streets of Hartford took place immediately following the Mass. An extension of the original procession celebrated since the 18th century in Lima, Peru, the Hartford version of Senor de los Milagros (The Lord of Miracles) dates back to the mid-1960's. The icon displayed in Our Lady of Sorrows, and carried through neighboring streets, is an exact replica of the original mural on display at Church of Las Nazarenas in Lima. The painting is reputed to have been created by an Angolan slave in 1651 on a wall where the Church of Las Nazarenas stands today. Despite irreparable damage being done to the surrounding area of the Church of Las Nazarenas over the centuries - including an earthquake in 1746 which leveled the surrounding buildings - the painting survived. Each October since the 18th century a religious brotherhood has arranged an annual procession of the painting through the streets of Lima in honor of the Lord of the Miracles. Peruvian immigrants brought this beautiful tradition to many communities in the United States and the custom lives on today in Hartford, CT through the dedication of the local chapter of Hermandad del Senor de los Milagros.

Berlioz Te Deum May 5, 2006 : Hector Berlioz' Te Deum performed by The Hartt Choir and Chorale, The New Haven Chorale, The Concert Choir of The Connecticut Children's Chorus, The Hartt Symphony Orchestra, Kenneth Shelly (Tenor) and Ezequiel Menendez (Organist) under the direction of Edward Bolkovac (Conductor) at The Cathedral of St Joseph, Hartford, CT. Hartford Concerts for Charities brings together school, university, and professional performing organizations; local and corporate sponsors in partnership with the Cathedral of St. Joseph; and The Hartt School to produce exciting classical music concerts that, in turn, become a source of support for many charities that benefit people in need. The HCC Series pledges to donate ALL proceeds at EVERY concert to a designated charity. The concept is a simple one—all musical and publicity costs of the concerts will be donated by corporate and individual sponsors, so that when a concertgoer makes a donation at the door, they will know that 100% of their contribution is helping to benefit those in need. Corporate and individual sponsors can know that they are not only enriching the cultural life of the Hartford area by supporting the arts, but are also helping to support local charities. http://www.hartfordconcertsforcharities.org/index.html
