2023 Bishops Appeal

GO HERE  to donate.

"I am immensely grateful for your support last year to the Diocese of Bridgeport’s 2022 Bishop’s Appeal. As we moved forward from the pandemic, the need for services continued to be impacted, especially nutrition and counseling programs. Because of your generosity, we were able to serve thousands of Fairfield County individuals and families through our ministries and services, introduce new programs to experience, and learn more about the beauty of our Catholic faith and to mentor young adults in business and faith. This week you will receive information by mail about our 2023 Bishop’s Appeal, “One in Christ” and how your support assists the ministries and programs our parishes cannot provide for in the community on their own. We cannot do it without you and I am immensely grateful for your support as we seek to unite the diocese in service, compassion and faith and bring our sisters and brothers together to encounter and embrace the power of the Lord Jesus in our lives."                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                         Bishop Frank Caggiano

A message from Monsignor Weiss:

"While their efforts in supporting those suffering from mental illness remains strong, this pandemic has put a major strain on their commitment to the corporal works of mercy, especially feeding the hungry. I hope that you find the following information helpful as part of your decision to support this year’s Appeal.
