Priest Fashion Designer on Crossroads Magazine

As we shared with you here on the blog, New Haven native Fr. Andrew O’Connor is a priest of the Archdiocese of New York who leads the charity Goods of Conscience. It is an apparel line Cameron Diaz recently wore in Vogue Magazine. Julia Roberts will also wear some of the organization's clothing in the upcoming film Eat, Pray, Love.

You maybe wondering, "Why in the world is a priest a fashion designer?" We will bring you the answer this Saturday on Crossroads Magazine. That's at 10:30 a.m. on WTXX, and 10:30 p.m. on My TV 9 in Connecticut. Just a little hint at the answer: Father truly believes his charity work is a perfect opportunity to live Catholic social teaching. He is also reaching out to many people searching for faith answers.

Priest Fashion Designer in Vogue Magazine?

New Haven native Fr. Andrew O’Connor is a priest of the Archdiocese of New York. He is the leader of two charity groups that combine the riches of art and Catholicism. In 2000, he founded “Sacredartheals,” which is collaboration with artists and Catholicism. Some of the works are found in parishes from France to Mississippi. In 2005, Father founded Goods of Conscience. The goal of the group originally was to preserve the Guatemalan custom of back-strap weaving, while providing the artisans a living wage. Goods of Conscience is an apparel line, that was recently worn by Cameron Diaz in Vogue Magazine.

Father will be speaking at his native St. Mary's Church in New Haven Monday night at 7:30 p.m.

Crossroads Magazine will introduce you to Father Andrew on our June 25th show.
