HARTFORD, CT (WFSB) – The City of Hartford celebrated its newest mayor on Thursday.
A number of events were scheduled for Mayor Arunan Arulampalam and his supporters.
The first event of the day was an interfaith prayer service.
It wrapped up by late Thursday morning and brought together faith leaders from across the city.
The service was held at the Center Church on Gold Street, very close to City Hall. Different faith leaders packed the church to share reflections and prayers.
Faith leaders who spoke at the interfaith prayer service talked regarding the importance of creating a sense of community in Hartford.
“The community we create will be a powerful force for justice and peace in our city, our nation and in our world,” said Fr. Timothy Shreenan, St. Patrick-St. Anthony Church.

He was sworn in on Jan. 1, 2024.
