Deacon and wife to be honored by ADL

Here’s a nice piece of deacon news out of Connecticut:

The Anti-Defamation League will honor Deacon Arthur and Sandra Miller and two others at the 2013 Greater Hartford Torch of Liberty Award Reception and Centennial Gala, set to begin at 5:30 p.m. Sept. 24 in West Hartford.

Deacon Miller is director of the archdiocesan Office for Black Catholic Ministries. In addition to his assigned parishes, he is the chaplain at Hartford’s Capital Community College. Deacon Miller addresses issues of social injustice at public forums, houses of worship and schools and universities across the country. Deacon Miller was a participant in Connecticut ADL’s first Interfaith Mission to Israel in 2007.

Sandra Miller is the office manager for the archdiocesan Small Christian Communities. She was first introduced to the Anti-Defamation League when she became an active participant in ADL’s “Names Can Really Hurt Us” program while working at the Watkinson School in Hartford.

The Millers, who have been married for 42 years, reside in Windsor and have four children and six grandchildren.
