Calling all knitting and crochet enthusiasts! Join us at MakeHaven for our monthly gathering, meticulously orchestrated by Denise, one of our esteemed textile facilitators.

 

This recurring event, dedicated to the joys of knitting and crochet, offers an unparalleled opportunity to engage with fellow crafters in a setting that's both warm and welcoming. Scheduled for the 4th Sunday of every month from 12pm to 3pm, this meetup is a haven for those looking to dive into their projects, exchange ideas, and foster a vibrant, creative community.

What to Expect:

  • Community Building: Led by Denise, our meetups are designed to cultivate a nurturing environment for knitting and crochet enthusiasts at all levels of expertise. It’s the perfect venue to connect with others who share your passion and to be part of an inclusive, creative community.

  • Dedicated Project Time: Bring along your knitting needles, crochet hooks, and work-in-progress projects. Whether you’re looking to make headway on your current piece, eager to start something new, or hoping to learn a novel stitch or technique, you’ll find plenty of opportunities here.

  • Brainstorming and Conversation: This is your chance to participate in engaging conversations, exchange tips and tricks, and brainstorm on future projects. If inspiration, advice, or just a friendly chat about your favorite pastime is what you seek, you’ll find an open and supportive space here.

What to Bring:

  • Your Projects and Materials: Don’t forget to bring your knitting, crocheting, or needlework projects along with your yarns, needles, and hooks.

  • Resources to Share: Got any helpful guides, patterns, or insights? Bring them along to share with the group! Our community thrives on the exchange of knowledge and ideas.

Our Goal:

With Denise at the helm, our aim is to provide a recurring platform for knitters and crocheters to come together, share their love for the craft, work on their projects, and contribute to a flourishing community. Whether you’re looking to meet like-minded individuals, find inspiration, or simply enjoy a few hours of crafting in great company, you won’t want to miss out.

Mark your calendars for the 4th Sunday of every month, and join us from 12pm to 3pm for an afternoon of knitting, crocheting, and community building at MakeHaven. Let’s come together to weave a rich tapestry of creativity and camaraderie, one yarn at a time. We look forward to seeing you there!"

Inspired by the real stories of New Haven apizza pioneers, Family Business: (A)Pizza Play follows the Carbonizatto family’s pizza shop from it’s immigrant beginnings as it passes down over generations. This production explores New Haven’s pizza magic (la magia dell'apizza) from New Haven’s cultural and historic connection to pizza.

Family Business: (A)Pizza Play is a special collaboration with CitySeed and Sanctuary Kitchen, highlighting New Haven’s food culture, and celebrating the impact of 100 years of immigrant entrepreneurship in New Haven. Performances are at 162 James St., New Haven, future home of CitySeed’s operations, food incubator, and Sanctuary Kitchen.

THE CARBONIZATTO STORY

Pizza is a big deal in New Haven. We’re the Pizza Capital of America, after all. A Broken Umbrella Theatre has always wanted to tell the New Haven Apizza story, but not as a biography of any pizzaioli, but as a story of all of them. To do that, they took New Haven’s Apizza people and joined them into the fictionalized Carbonizzatto Family. Carbonizzatto, from the Italian for “carbonized” — a knowing wink to the black-dusted fingers walking out of any apizza shop.

Last year, in A Slice, we saw multiple generations of the Carbonizzattos throughout history, but always in New Haven and always at their pizza shop. The Carbonizattos struggled from generation to generation as they grappled with what they owe to future Carbonizattos — and what did they owe to those who came before? Because this is part of a larger story, and it’s not just about Apizza, it’s about a family. A Slice was only the seed for this full production, or as Bruno Cantante sings in the show, “One slice don’t make a pie.”

What turns a simple drawing of a chair or a tree into a true work of art? It’s the artist’s imagination, emotions, and creativity.

Embark on a journey of transformation, reimagining everything around us—trees, flowers, birds, animals, everyday objects, and more—as unique artworks. Students will refine their skills in realistic sketching, while also exploring innovative ways, like altering size, context, or perspective, to infuse imagination into their drawings.

Transform realistic drawings into fantastical scenes and create something extraordinary!

Weather permitting, there will be a one-day field trip to the Yale University Art Gallery.

Tuition for this class includes a fee of $20 for materials provided by CAW.

March 22 – September 7, 2025 | Exhibition open Wednesday through Sunday from 10am to 4pm with free parking and admission EXCEPT Friday, April 18 (Good Friday); Saturday, April 19 (Holy Saturday); Sunday, April 20 (Easter); Saturday, June 7; and Friday, July 4 (Independence Day).

Separated by 2,781 miles and on two different continents, Iraqi and Nigerian Christians share similar stories of persecution. From 2014-2018, portions of Northern Iraq were under the control of the militant group Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS), and many religious minorities, including Christians, experienced persecution and violence as a result. In the northern and central portions of Nigeria, violence towards Christians and other minority groups has also increased in recent years at the hands of Boko Haram and other groups. 

The Blessed Michael McGivney Pilgrimage Center is honored to share the stories of those displaced in Iraq and Nigeria through Among the Persecuted and Displaced — a collection of photographs taken by Stephen Rasche. The Knights of Columbus has sponsored some of Rasche’s work in both countries, bringing to light the atrocities inflicted on those persecuted for their faith.

 "Laughter is the sun that drives winter from the human face." —Victor Hugo

Sometimes there is nothing more refreshing than a nice – deep - belly laugh. A laugh that makes your side hurt, your eyes water and your breath hard to catch. A laugh so powerful that - at least for a moment - you forget all about your troubles.

In a world with so much uncertainty, we invite you to bring your troubles and hear stories that make you say, “That’s Funny!” Our tellers will delight you with stories of joy and sadness, success and failures, agreements and conflicts. And all of them are stories that will make you laugh. Come join us as we laugh our troubles away.

Our featured teller is Jamie Brickhouse.

"Laughter is an instant vacation." —Milton Berle

 Long Days

June 12-19

By Gabe Mckinley

World Premiere production by Gabe McKinley about a group of actors putting on a production of O’Neill’s LONG DAY’S JOURNEY INTO NIGHT at a regional theatre; a tragic and sometimes darkly humorous overlapping of themes amidst the plays with a deliciously compelling plot of what happens “behind the scenes."

Or at least into your favorite bars/breweries/pubs. Bonsai Bar is a night of fun you don’t want to miss.

This workshop will be hosted at Valor Wines. Located in North Haven Connecticut, we are a family owned and operated micro winery with generations of experience in wine making.

It was a long fight to start one of the first micro wineries in CT, and we were excited to finally open our doors in September 2021. Our passion for wine making blends respect for tradition with boundless curiosity for what is possible. We believe knowing your roots can uncork the potential to think outside the bottle. Making us uniquely situated to create one of a kind small batch wines which will invoke both familiar comfort and striking intrigue.

Separated by 2,781 miles and on two different continents, Iraqi and Nigerian Christians share similar stories of persecution. From 2014-2018, portions of Northern Iraq were under the control of the militant group Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS), and many religious minorities, including Christians, experienced persecution and violence as a result. In the northern and central portions of Nigeria, violence towards Christians and other minority groups has also increased in recent years at the hands of Boko Haram and other groups. 

The Blessed Michael McGivney Pilgrimage Center is honored to share the stories of those displaced in Iraq and Nigeria through Among the Persecuted and Displaced — a collection of photographs taken by Stephen Rasche. The Knights of Columbus has sponsored some of Rasche’s work in both countries, bringing to light the atrocities inflicted on those persecuted for their faith.

What turns a simple drawing of a chair or a tree into a true work of art? It’s the artist’s imagination, emotions, and creativity.

Embark on a journey of transformation, reimagining everything around us—trees, flowers, birds, animals, everyday objects, and more—as unique artworks. Students will refine their skills in realistic sketching, while also exploring innovative ways, like altering size, context, or perspective, to infuse imagination into their drawings.

Transform realistic drawings into fantastical scenes and create something extraordinary!

Weather permitting, there will be a one-day field trip to the Yale University Art Gallery.

HHTTS is an indie Asian dreampop/shoegaze band from Brooklyn, New York. HHTTS began like many indie bands—as a weekend passion project, rehearsing once a week while its members balanced full-time jobs.

After spending a year refining their sound in a $180/month rehearsal studio, the band made its live debut in mid-2022. As an all-Asian group, they quickly stood out in New York City's indie music scene. Since then, they have performed at numerous venues in NYC and beyond, including two sold-out shows. Their growing presence has earned them spots at festivals such as the New Colossus Festival 2023, Moonvibez MusicFest 2023, and Bacchanalia Festival 2022. In May, they released their debut EP, Poutine.

For more than twenty years that the group has been rolling its hump in the world of jazz manouche and revisited song,  Christine Tassan and the Impostors  has been able to win the esteem and loyalty of an ever-growing audience.

True pioneers in a field usually reserved for men and precursors of the manouche wave that swept over Quebec, these four musicians reinvent with the singularity that we know them a music that, far from being frozen in time, adapts on the contrary to all kinds of new ideas. From covers to compositions, the arrangements of the Impostors innovate, dust, give way to the unbridled creativity of four experienced musicians.

The group's reputation is no longer to be done, with 7 albums to its credit and more than 700 theatrical and festival shows, including multiple tours in Quebec, Canada, Europe, the United States and China. We saw Christine Tassan and the Impostors at the Montreal International Jazz Festival, the Django Reinhardt Festival in Samois-sur-Seine (France), the Django Festival in Liberchies (Belgium) and the North-West Django Fest (USA). The album "Entre Félix et Django" received the  Opus Award for jazz album of the year  in 2017 and was  nominated in the Show of the Year category  in 2018. Since 2020, the group has presented a special holiday show entitled "Django Belles", which has become an annual tradition.

Inspired by the real stories of New Haven apizza pioneers, Family Business: (A)Pizza Play follows the Carbonizatto family’s pizza shop from it’s immigrant beginnings as it passes down over generations. This production explores New Haven’s pizza magic (la magia dell'apizza) from New Haven’s cultural and historic connection to pizza.

Family Business: (A)Pizza Play is a special collaboration with CitySeed and Sanctuary Kitchen, highlighting New Haven’s food culture, and celebrating the impact of 100 years of immigrant entrepreneurship in New Haven. Performances are at 162 James St., New Haven, future home of CitySeed’s operations, food incubator, and Sanctuary Kitchen.

THE CARBONIZATTO STORY

Pizza is a big deal in New Haven. We’re the Pizza Capital of America, after all. A Broken Umbrella Theatre has always wanted to tell the New Haven Apizza story, but not as a biography of any pizzaioli, but as a story of all of them. To do that, they took New Haven’s Apizza people and joined them into the fictionalized Carbonizzatto Family. Carbonizzatto, from the Italian for “carbonized” — a knowing wink to the black-dusted fingers walking out of any apizza shop.

Last year, in A Slice, we saw multiple generations of the Carbonizzattos throughout history, but always in New Haven and always at their pizza shop. The Carbonizattos struggled from generation to generation as they grappled with what they owe to future Carbonizattos — and what did they owe to those who came before? Because this is part of a larger story, and it’s not just about Apizza, it’s about a family. A Slice was only the seed for this full production, or as Bruno Cantante sings in the show, “One slice don’t make a pie.”

Joshua Redman is one of the most acclaimed and charismatic jazz artists to have emerged in the 1990’s. Born in Berkeley, California he is the son of legendary saxophonist Dewey Redman and dancer Renee Shedroff. In 1991 Redman graduated from Harvard College summa cum laude and had already been accepted by Yale Law School, but deferred entrance for what he believed was only going to be one year. Instead, he moved to New York City and immediately found himself immersed in the city’s burgeoning jazz scene. Five months later Redman was named winner of the prestigious Thelonious Monk International Saxophone Competition. Since then, Redman has worked and played with a vast array of jazz luminaries, released over twenty albums (Warner & Nonesuch), and has garnered top honors in critics and readers polls of DownBeat, Jazz Times, The Village Voice and Rolling Stone.

Separated by 2,781 miles and on two different continents, Iraqi and Nigerian Christians share similar stories of persecution. From 2014-2018, portions of Northern Iraq were under the control of the militant group Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS), and many religious minorities, including Christians, experienced persecution and violence as a result. In the northern and central portions of Nigeria, violence towards Christians and other minority groups has also increased in recent years at the hands of Boko Haram and other groups. 

The Blessed Michael McGivney Pilgrimage Center is honored to share the stories of those displaced in Iraq and Nigeria through Among the Persecuted and Displaced — a collection of photographs taken by Stephen Rasche. The Knights of Columbus has sponsored some of Rasche’s work in both countries, bringing to light the atrocities inflicted on those persecuted for their faith.
