A comedy!Foster is performing three shows in the area: Thursday, 4/16 in New London at the Hygienic, Friday in W. Hartford at the Elbow Room and Friday in New Haven at Lyric Hall. www.MostlyJokes.com
"Mostly Jokes" was named "Best Solo Show" at the Tucson Fringe Festival and has received reviews such as: "A laugh every twenty seconds." "I've never laughed so hard about mental health." "Subversively hilarious, laugh out loud gallows humor."
Foster is the former host of HGTV’s FreeStyle who turned to stand up to manage his depression and anxiety. He has performed at clubs all over the West Coast and has been touring this show for the past year.

Exploring Wild Edibles

St Joseph's Parish

ANSONIA, CT&nbsp; - April 10, 2026 - Saint Joseph Church of Ansonia will commemorate its 100th anniversary with a centennial celebration on May 31, 2026, honoring a century of faith, community, and fellowship.The celebration will begin at 10 a.m. with Mass at Saint Joseph Church, 32 Jewett Street, Ansonia. The Mass will be concelebrated by five priests, with Archbishop Christopher Coyne serving as principal celebrant. A dinner will follow at 12 p.m. at Warsaw Park, 119 Pulaski Highway, Ansonia. Lieutenant Governor Susan Bysiewicz and U.S. Representative Rosa DeLauro are expected to attend, along with Ansonia Mayor Frank Tyszka, State Senator Jorge Cabrera, and State Representative Kara Rochelle.Rev. Tadeusz Maciejewski, Pastor, said, “Father Mitch and I are grateful to celebrate Saint Joseph Church’s 100th anniversary and thank God for the many blessings we have received, as well as for the faith and dedication of our parishioners throughout the years.”Saint Joseph Church was founded in 1926. Its origins date back to 1923, when members of the local Polish community first gathered to advocate for the construction of a Catholic school in their hometown. Through their determination, hard work, and the support of local clergy, Saint Joseph Church and school were established. Throughout its history, the parish has served the community in times of need, including assisting displaced families arriving from Poland in 1952 and supporting flood victims following Hurricane Diane in 1955. The parish school educated generations of students before closing in 2001. Today, the commitment of its parishioners remains strong, with four generations of some families having attended the church. Saint Joseph Church continues to serve through charitable initiatives and its longstanding tradition, the annual Warsaw Park Picnic.Parishioners and members of the community are invited to attend and celebrate this historic milestone together.Media Contact
