The Covenant Shelter of New London was established in 1983 as a compact between two neighboring parishes on Huntington Street in New London, CT - St. Mary Star of the Sea Catholic Church and St. James Episcopal Church. Fortuitously, this effort and commitment on the part of two faith communities coincided with the enactment of a state mandate that each town operate an emergency shelter or charter with one in the area to provide temporary shelter, food and support to homeless individuals and families. The Shelter began with a volunteer director and in 1985 transitioned to a professional Executive Director. The ecumenical values that established the Shelter have imbued its governance and operational philosophy: respect for dignity of the individuals and families who are guests of the shelter.
