Sketch of Immaculate’s New Shelter

In a perfect world, when Immaculate opened the doors of Casa de Francisco to 25 homeless individuals, that would have left 25 beds open in the Shelter. However, the sad reality is that those beds were filled within days. It is a reminder that the issue of homelessness in Greater Hartford is ever present.

In the near future, you will be hearing of our $3 Million Capital Campaign and plans to build a new shelter to replace the former church. As part of the arrangement to build Casa de Francisco, The City of Hartford is requiring that the Shelter move from its current Park Street location. This is being done with a heavy heart, however, years of “getting by” in an old and tired building are also quickly catching up with us. Moving or drastic renovations are forever imminent. Your help has been, and we hope will continue, to be an important part in making this happen.

Songs for Good
An annual musical tradition helps to house and feed Hartford's homeless

Bridget De Moura Castro, the music director at Our Lady of Sorrows Parish in Hartford, has spent her life sharing the joy and beauty of music with those around her. In fact, for more than 20 years, she has been the driving force behind a charitable Messiah sing-a-long concert, held each January. From humble beginnings, the concert has not only become a highly anticipated annual event, but has been attracting an increasing number of people, both onstage and in the audience. Musicians come from across the Hartford region to volunteer their time and talent.
