The Annual Connecticut Catholic Men's Conference, Directed by Wolcott native and long-time Thomaston resident Kenneth J. Santopietro, returns for the 7th time. In addition to his annual involvement with the conference and his local church, Santopietro is also active in his community, and is a 4th degree member of the Knights of Columbus. This year's theme for the conference is "I Thirst", which proves to be a natural transition from the 2013 theme "Rebuild". The event takes place again at Goodwin College in East Hartford on October 25th, 2014 from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Keynote speaker Jon Leonetti joins Bryan Mercier, Peter Freissle, Br. Bob Moriarty S.M., and Most Rev. Leonard P. Blair (Archbishop of Hartford). For more information, click on the picture below:
