The Holy Trinity Church community in Hartford came together to show their support for their priest, Father Charles Jacobs, at a rally on Saturday morning. Father Jacobs had been accused of stealing parish funds for unauthorized and personal use, leading to his placement on administrative leave. Despite denying the allegations, Father Jacobs admitted to using the money to help those in need in the community.
Parishioners, like Lee-Ann Greco, who has been with the church for over 25 years, expressed their unwavering support for Father Jacobs. They highlighted his contributions to the community and the positive impact he has had on their lives. While the Archdiocese of Hartford maintains that Father Jacobs violated a commandment, supporters believe he should be reinstated due to his generosity and selflessness.
The ongoing investigation into the allegations has left the parish divided, with some echoing support for Father Jacobs and others expressing concerns about his actions. Despite differing opinions, the community remains hopeful for Father Jacobs’s return to the church.
