I write to extend my sincere congratulations to the parishioners of SS. Isidore and Maria Parish for your generous support of the 2025 Archbishop’s Annual Appeal. Your parish responded to the call to Trust in the Lord in a most gratifying way, exceeding its parish goal and offering a powerful witness of faith and generosity.
Thanks to the extraordinary generosity of faithful donors throughout the Archdiocese, the overall 2025 Appeal goal of $10 million was achieved with total contributions of $10.1 million, an accomplishment that would not have been possible without the generous support of the parishioners of SS. Isidore and Maria Parish. Please accept my heartfelt congratulations to your community for achieving your parish goal.
The success of the Annual Appeal is never accidental; it flows from the leadership, dedication, and example of the parish priest. I am sincerely grateful for the commitment and for the positive, faith-filled way Father Mark Suslenki invited parishioners to take part with open, generous hearts. I am confident that your new pastor, Father Anthony Smith, will continue this support of the Archbishop’s Annual Appeal in your parish.
Be assured of my prayers and best wishes for SS. Isidore and Maria Parish. May God grant you a blessed and grace-filled 2026.
Sincerely Yours in Christ
Most Rev. Christopher J. Coyne
Archbishop of Hartford
