Local History Program: Hartford Catholic Worker Founders, Chris Doucot and Jackie Allen-Doucot

Chris Doucot, 66, a pastor and pacifist, and his wife, Jackie Allen-Doucot, are co-founders of the Hartford Catholic Worker, a North Hartford social justice organization that assists people who need food, clothing, shelter and other necessities. In addition to their local work, the couple does humanitarian work abroad. They’ve traveled oversees several times, including to Bosnia, Iraq – and twice to Afghanistan. Chris will speak about their travels and, specifically about how war affects civilians in foreign countries.

The Friends and South Windsor Historical Society are co-sponsoring a calendar of programs with connections to local history. Program fees: Friends and Society members pay $5; non-members pay $7 at the door.  Pre-registration is not required.
