One of the first to be saved at those meetings was Alexander Pizzo, who served as a correspondent from the mid-1930's thru 1974, succeeded by Jack McGrath of Northville, New Milford. In 1964, the assembly started an annual spring conference, which continued thru at least 1978. In 1968, the assembly moved to an old "Catholic" church in Brookfield, renamed Brookfield Gospel Hall, and gradually phased out of Italian to become a primarily English-speaking assembly, that continues today.
The following is from "Italian Assemblies in North America", published in 1964, unknown author. "Danbury, CT: When R. Cappiello was commended to full time service for the work of the Lord he moved to Danbury in November 1926. He started visitation work with encouraging results. In 1927, L. Rosania came to help and in 1928 a small store was rented and the Danbury Assembly met for the first time. The assembly moved into larger quarters later, but was still called small in 1946 when F. Pizzulli labored there."
