A Message from Archbishop Mansell

Dear Friends in Christ,

Thank you for visiting the website of the Archdiocese of Hartford Office of Development.

Planning for the future is an important part of each and every person’s life. This website, with the invaluable information it contains, was developed by the Archdiocese of Hartford in order to assist you in reaching your goals.

Throughout its history, the Archdiocese has been blessed by men and women of faith who have contributed generously in order to nurture vibrant communities in parishes, missions, schools and other ministries. Today this legacy continues. Support may be financial, or may be the gift of time and expertise. Whatever the means, this support is a living example of good stewardship at work.

By planning the most effective, comprehensive, and prudent use of our resources to support family, church, and other important entities, we exemplify the teachings of Jesus Christ at work in today’s world.

As you visit this web-site, you will learn about the many ways to plan for your future and that of your family. As you prayerfully reflect on how to share your gifts, consider how every plan you make may change lives for the better in the future. Please know that you have the ability to help the Catholic Church and its ministries serve the needs of more that 670,000 Roman Catholics and many others in the Hartford, New Haven, and Litchfield Counties.

Thank you, and may God bless you.

Sincerely,

The Most Rev. Henry J. Mansell
Archbishop of Hartford
