Our Highlights in April
Nite to Shine
We enjoyed an evening with the Norwalk Symphony Orchestra Brass Quintet, which was sponsored by The Darien Men’s Association, and held at St Luke’s Church. John was one of the winners of 2026-2027 tickets for Norwalk Symphony concerts.

The Prophetic Necessity of Beauty
We also enjoyed the PEP, People Encouraging People, lunch, where we learned about things in Noroton Presbyterian Church, that we may, or may not, have seen, and have wondered about why and how they got there. Click here for more photos.

Snow
We saw and heard about the seven volumes of St John’s Bible, from St. John Abbey in Collegeville, Minnesota, which were on display at St Luke’s Church. It is the first handwritten illuminated Bible since the 1500s. And it’s very special for Marilyn since her grandparents and great grandparents married in the original St. John Church there.

Norman Rockwell's Studio
It was not a good day for a picnic at Roton Point, but we and some members of John’s family braved the stormy weather to see what’s new at the club. Marilyn is one of the original owners, and John’s grandkids enjoyed swimming there.
