SLEEPING BAGS COLLECTION
There are over one thousand homeless individuals in the Hartford area and this includes men, women, children, and veterans. With the cold weather setting in and COVID 19 still having a major impact on all our lives, the homeless population is continuing to grow. The Cathedral of Saint Joseph is once again working in conjunction with Officer Jimmy Barrett of the Hartford Police Department. He is the Community Outreach Officer for the homeless and displaced individuals in Hartford. Last year our community generously supported our efforts and we were able to collect 526 sleeping bags for the homeless community, but there is still a desperate need for sleeping bags for those homeless people, who are forced to sleep in parks, under bridges, and in the woods. If anyone has gently, used sleeping bags, that you would like to donate, please contact us. We will be more than happy to pick up the donations. We greatly appreciate any assistance you are able to offer. For more information please contact Phillippia Fletcher-Denovellis at 860-614-0594. We appreciate your generosity and your help in meeting this important need for those less fortunate.

Who We Are
Cathedral and Parish
As the Cathedral of the Archdiocese of Hartford, this beautiful church is the place where the local Archbishop presides over services attended by Catholics from throughout the Archdiocese. The Cathedral is also a parish in its own right, serving Catholics living in the Asylum Hill section of Hartford and in surrounding areas.
We are blessed with a beautiful environment for worship, one which features a superb four manual Austin pipe organ, exquisite stained glass windows crafted in Paris, and a ceramic tile mural behind the altar that is the largest of its kind in the world. Even more importantly, the Cathedral parish, which includes parishioners born on every continent in the world, is a vital one offering many activities, a place where sacred music and social outreach play significant roles.

Mass for Peace and Justice in Burma/Myanmar
Thank you to all who organized and participated in the Mass of Peace Event on Sunday, February 28th. I was so happy that we were able to show our support by offering the Mass and wonderful to have our lectors and reader offer the scripture and petitions in their familiar tongue. I hope they understand that the plight of their people are in my daily prayers especially at Mass. Special thanks to Judith Stonger, who through her dedication and support of our families from Burma, organized this important event and successful march and peace rally following the Mass. Mayor Bronin spoke at the rally showing his support as did many others. -Fr. Dan

A Breathtaking ARCHITECTURAL TRIUMPH, INSPIRED BY FAITH
|
|
|
Cathedrals do not just “happen.” On the contrary, they are living monuments of Christian belief and practice, testimonials that summon the best in bishops, clergy, architects, engineers, mathematicians, consummate artists, artisans, meticulous laborers and countless contributors, rich and poor alike. Our Hartford Cathedral is itself a testimonial to faith as well as human genius and artistry. The Cathedral is a repository for some of the most outstanding examples of contemporary ecclesiastical art - in stained glass, mosaics, and sculpture, in both metal and stone.
A Cathedral, like the Cathedral of St. Joseph of Hartford, unquestionably gives us joy, every time we participate in Mass there, every time we visit it, every time we pass by it. -Rev. Msgr. David Q. Liptak |
