Come Home to Immaculate — 30 Years of Serving the Homeless

A special thank you to all those who attended and supported Come Home to Immaculate— 30 Years of Serving the Homeless.

The evening was surely a memorable one. Hartford Mayor Pedro Segarra kicked off the evening with Opening Remarks. Later on in the evening we were honored to have Governor Dannel Malloy present his Chief of Staff, Timothy Bannon, who accepted The Partnership Award.

We were also privileged to honor Hartford retired Auxiliary Bishop, the Most. Rev. Peter Rosazza D.D., for his years of service supporting the homeless with the Homeless Advocacy Award.

On May 5, 2011, The Society Room of Hartford was filled with people who all had some special connection to Immaculate Conception Shelter & Housing Corporation. Be it Father Jim Donagher, who opened the doors to the Church for the purposes of a Shelter for the first time over 30 years ago; Rev. John Gregory-Davis who served as the agency's first Executive Director over 20 years ago; members of the Inaugural Board of Directors, such as George Slate and Mark and Lynda Fredette, who wrote Immaculate's mission statement and had the vision of serving the community in a way no one else wanted to; Patti White, former Executive Director who's vision and belief in Supportive Housing is what helped make Casa de Francisco a reality for the agency; and countless food group volunteers, long-time donors and funders who without their support, we would not be able to provide the level of services Immaculate does to its clients.
