In addition, they work closely with other local groups who apply for the local CCHD grants managed by the OCSJM. Committee members must be approved by the Archbishop of Hartford.

Global Solidarity Team
The Global Solidarity Leadership Team offers resources, leadership training, advocacy, relationship-building strategies and other supports for parishes in their global solidarity efforts.
Global solidarity is about sharing resources, but it is also about sharing stories, building relationships, becoming co-responsible in advancing the good news of lives lived in justice and in peace. In this regard, Pope Benedict, in his encyclical Caritas in Veritate, wrote, “Openness to God makes us open towards our brothers and sisters and towards an understanding of life as a joyful task to be accomplished in a spirit of solidarity.”
