A portion of the prayer reads:
“Accept, O Mother of Christ, this cry, laden with, the hopes and burdens, the sufferings of each one of us, and of all our people. Help us, with the power of the Holy Spirit, to overcome and conquer all sin: individual sins, social sins and the sin of the world’, sin in all its manifestations.
Let there be revealed once more, in our own history as a people, the infinite power of the Redemption, the power of God’s merciful Love! May it destroy the power of sin and evil among us! May it transform consciences! May it change hearts to the likeness of the Heart of Jesus, and your own heart! May your Immaculate Heart reveal for all, in our land and through allthe world, the light of hope! O Mary, Mother of Jesus and our Mother, our life, our sweetness and our hope! Amen.”

TORRINGTON – Margaret (Peg) Kucinskas died peacefully on May 19, 2021, at the age of 95. She was the loving wife of the late John Kucinskas.
Together they raised six children. She leaves Debra Hanny of Torrington, Mark Kucinskas of Fairfield, Joseph Kucinskas of Piermont, N.H., and Sheri Kucinskas of Kailua, Hawaii. Peg was predeceased by Kevin Kucinskas and Linda Diamond. She was a loving grandmother to seven grandchildren and a dozen great-grandchildren.
Born in New Haven, Conn., in 1925, Peg survived hard times in her youth, including the death of her older brother due to a brain tumor, but went on to live a rich, joyful and full life. She met John, a handsome sailor and cook after World War II, while working at Newington Children’s Hospital, and happily didn’t have to cook for the next 58 years.

“This was a provocative message meant to make people feel unsafe and threatened,” said Lopez, a Nashua city alderman.
The cluster of spray-painted stenciled messages - “Keep New England White,” “Death to Israel,” and “Defend New England” - are the work of the Nationalist Social Club, which took credit on Telegram, a social media platform frequented by white supremacist and other hate groups.
Lopez says the messages were spray painted on a popular mural along a bike trail in the city’s Ward 4, an economically and culturally diverse neighborhood. A recruitment message was also graffitied on a nearby dumpster, and stickers bearing the group’s name have also popped up around Nashua.
