Gala2021

"Twenty-five years ago, my wife AC and I had a dream to open a home for homeless, pregnant women and their babies. This dream came after our beautiful son was born after 17 years of marriage and never-ending prayers for a child. We were so grateful to God for the greatest blessing of our lives and set out to ensure that every mother is given the chance to experience this same blessing and gift of bringing life to this world. The Good Lord had given us our miracle son, so it just made sense that my wife and I should help provide miracles for other women with no room at the inn? because there was no inn in Connecticut." -- Michael O'Rourke, Founder, Malta House

Thank you for joining Malta House as we celebrate our upcoming move to our new home on West Rocks Road. Our annual gala, "There's No Place like Home", celebrates our life-changing work and some very special people who have made our work possible. This year's honorees are the "MH2 Dream Team" - Board Vice-chair John Altieri; Chris Anspach, builder; Frank Chapman, architect; Altieri, Sebor and Wieber; the Diocese of Bridgeport, and others who worked tirelessly on the 18-month construction and renovation of the new home. This special evening includes a cocktail hour, paddle raise and dinner. There is also a "Baubles & Bling" raffle featuring a fine piece of jewelry from Manfredi Jewels, New Canaan and the opportunity to purchase a hand crafted birdhouse centerpiece.

We look forward to celebrating with you on May 7, 2021!

Our event is a hybrid and includes both indoor and outdoor seating.

Please be assured that we are following the State of Connecticut's COVID safety guidelines.

Guests will be asked to wear masks and our tables will be appropriately social distanced.

We are going to offer a virtual component as well for those not comfortable attending in person.
