27th Annual Greater Hartford Multifaith Prayer Breakfast

Since 1997 the Greater Hartford Multi-Faith Prayer Breakfast has reached across religious boundaries to find and celebrate those beliefs we share, to pray for the Greater Hartford community and to acknowledge together that our diverse communities need the prayerful support of all of our religious traditions if we are to realize a healthy urban center.

You can expect uplifting, spiritual music, and greetings from our representatives in City Hall and the state legislature. Christians, Jews, Muslims, Sikhs, Hindus, Buddhists, Baha’is and others have been involved in the planning of the event. A delicious Middle Eastern style breakfast will be served.

Our theme for 2024 is Eco-Justice in Hartford. We will hear from Rev. Tom Carr, co-founder of the Connecticut Interreligious Eco-Justice Network.

The event is free. A $10 donation is suggested, but donations of any size are welcome so we can continue to support this longstanding event.
