MOMS Group Meets with Representative Cafero
 |
State Representative Larry Cafero asked
to meet with the MOMS group to gain insight into the issues
facing families in Norwalk. The meeting took place on June 7
at St. Philip. A dynamic discussion gave both the mothers
and Mr. Cafero, a St. Matthew's parishioner, some
significant insights into the issues of raising children,
the value and sanctity of human life and the importance of
common sense in decision making.

parish.
Chelsea Cohen Day
Despite the dire weather predictions early in the week, the sun came
out on Saturday, May 13 for the car washes and bake sales held
throughout the city by various youth groups to show support for Chelsea
and her family. Based on observations at St. Philip, where the
event was manned by the youth groups of St. Philip and St. Thomas the
Apostle, the occasion was a big success. We are especially proud
of the St. Philip Youth Group and co-ordinator Kal DiMarco for their
roles in getting this event started. For background and details of
Chelsea's illness and the other groups participating, see our
earlier page about Chelsea
and see more photos in the
Chelsea Cohen
page in Recent Photos.
