Help support our Security Upgrades Project

Following the unsettling vandalism on our property, we have had a tremendous outpouring of support from all of you – our dedicated and loyal friends and retreatants who consider Holy Family as their spiritual home.

Much of your support and gracious sentiment was accompanied with “How can I help?” or “What can we do?”

Thanks to the work of our Facilities Department and a retreatant who specializes in cleaning stonework, we are pleased to report that the graffiti has been removed. However, local law enforcement officials strongly recommend we upgrade several aspects of our surveillance and campus security efforts, to help prevent this type of activity in the future.

Obviously this comes at a tremendous cost at a time when our annual budget is already stretched thin. We would be grateful for any donation you can make to support these upgrades. Donations can be made online by clicking the button below, or mailed to our Development office. Please note “security upgrades” on your check.

We also ask that you sign our petition to the State of Connecticut Department of Transportation (DOT) encouraging them to fix their fencing along the border of our shared property line. This will help deter further traffic and trespassing activity on our property that usually leads to this type of vandalism. Click here to sign our online petition.
