Stonington Fishermen Blessing of the Fleet

Each year the residents of Stonington and the associated fishing community honor those fishermen and their families from the Stonington Fishing Fleet who have perished at sea, as well as to honor and bless the vessels along with their captains, owners, crews and families that will go out to sea in the year ahead. The PHGS Club and the Ladies Auxiliary participate in the Blessing of the Fleet Parade, with volunteers, and provides food for the event at the Stonington Town docks.

The PHGS Foundation provides a gift-in-kind with Foundation members volunteering for this event in various capacities including, but not limited to, food sales setup at the docks, serving and cleanup.
