Shawnee Baldwin has agreed to offer a Virtus training during our regularly scheduled Saturday program on Feb. 18 and again on March 24. Please make every effort to attend one of these sessions. At this session folks will also be asked to sign a release form for us to do a criminal background check.
If you have already had this training or an equivalent training at your parish, school or workplace, please provide some verification and when you completed it.
We want everyone to be safe: the children from any sort of abuse and the volunteers from any false accusations.

The weather didn’t dampen spirits for the Green House Halloween party. Above are five of the many varied faces. You can watch more, along with costume basketball, egg races and more in this video clip.
There’s also a video clip of August fun, that I forgot to share until now.

An update from Chris:
We are pleased to announce that our 5-year odyssey with the IRS is over. The Hartford Catholic Inc. is now recognized by the IRS as a 501c3 tax deductible charity. We hope this designation will encourage folks who have been hesitant to support our work in the past to become regular contributors.
We want to thank Barbara McGrath esq. and the stafff and students of the CT Urban Legal Initiative of the UConn Law School for the very many hours they have devoted to us. Without their help we would be in a difficult bind as we celebrate the 19th anniversary of the Hartford Catholic Worker tomorrow – St. Martin De Porres day (our patron) — on the church calendar.
So, to be succinct: all donations to the Hartford Catholic Worker are now tax deductible.
