Last week, Mrs Lessard led 60 senior Civics students to the State Capital in Hartford for a citizen’s eye view of Connecticut politics. The tour included a walk through the Capital and the legislature, and a personal meeting with State Representatives Perillo (Shelton-R) and Rose (Milford-D).

The scholarship recognizes a junior who has demonstrated exemplary Catholic leadership and extraordinary Christian service. Bishop Lori also took time to meet with student leaders and reflected on his years as preist and servant to the Diocese of Bridgeport.
