HISTORY of Triumphant Heart of Mary Immaculate Chapter
(Diocese of Bridgeport, CT)
The Triumphant Heart of Mary Immaculate Chapter was established in 2002 after several years of formation. It was brought to the diocese by our Spiritual Director Fr. Larry Carew who attended a Charismatic Conference and sat next to Marilyn Quirk on an airplane and felt the need to bring this ministry to our diocese. Our first Coordinator was Fran Karpiej who through her knowledge and determination established and incorporated our chapter in the Bridgeport Diocese of Fairfield County, Ct. Fran with the early team worked diligently and our first breakfast was held in 2002. We have had some wonderful speakers Marilyn Heap, Maria Vadia, Donna Marie Cooper O’Boyle to name a few. We give thanks to our Blessed Mother in overseeing each and every breakfast that we have held and the fruits that the breakfasts provide to everyone that attends.
