ABOUT US
The Hartford Bishops' Foundation, Inc.
Support the Church’s Mission within the wider context of the spiritual, social, and material well-being of everyone.
In order to continue to provide high-quality programs to the children, adults and families of our community, we have created an organized fundraising effort. This is a critical moment for all of us to come together to carry forward a great legacy by investing in the parishes, schools, ministries, and services that affect all of us, as well as our wider community. The foundation oversees advocacy, communications, parish relations, and community outreach that allows us to respond on a local level to the needs of communities in the Hartford, New Haven and Litchfield counties.
WHAT'S HAPPENING: OUR CAMPAIGN
Forward with Faith
Vibrant Parishes
The Forward with Faith
Campaign places great emphasis on securing the resources to ensure that our parishes will be prepared to nurture the next generation of Catholics. A minimum of 50% of the funds collected at the parish level will remain at the individual parish to address its local needs.
Educating to Reignite the Faith
Our Catholic schools and faith formation programs are held to the highest Archdiocesan Religion Curriculum Standards (ARCS) to ensure student outcomes are tracked and ultimately achieved in all essential Catholic course areas. These standards are designed to empower young Catholics.
Champions in Service to Others
Answering Pope Francis’ call for Catholics to be "real champions in the service of others," the Archdiocese of Hartford’s social service agencies deliver care, with respect and compassion, to individuals and families of all faiths and nationalities throughout the three counties of the Archdiocese each day.
Innovation for Emerging Opportunities
As we strengthen our parish communities, schools, and our charitable and social service ministries, Forward with Faith will also help position archdiocesan assets to be more responsive to key emerging opportunities as they develop.
