MINISTRY TEAMS AND COMMITTEES

Picture
Catholic Campaign for Human Development Committee

The CCHD Committee works with Lynn Campbell, the Archdiocesan CCHD Director, to identify and oversee local grass-roots projects that meet the critieria for National CCHD funding.  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. Their mission is to identify and support local groups who are committed to breaking the cycle of poverty.

For assistance or more information, call OCSJM at (860) 242-5573.

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.”

For assistance or more information, call OCSJM at  (860) 242-5573 or contact Mary O’Brien.

Social Justice Conference Planning Committee

Initiated in 2010 to honor Auxiliary Bishop Emeritus Peter J. Rosazza, the annual Bishop Peter Rosazza Social Justice Conference gathers leaders and advocates from across the Archdiocese for a day of learning, prayer and conversation around current social justice issues.  The Committee works to choose a conference theme, identify speakers and to organize and implement this important event.

For assistance or more information, call OCSJM at (860) 242-5573
