Welcome to the Diocese of Bridgeport

On the weekend of June 13-14, 2026, we re-consecrated the Diocese of Bridgeport to the Sacred Heart of Jesus. This is explained in this issue of the Bridge, which also delves into devotion to the Sacred Heart of Jesus.

This issue also shares wonderful resources for marriage --for preparation and for sanctifying it through the years.

As summer comes upon us, this could be a good time to start watching some of the Apologetics classes available online. Taught by our diocesan apologist, Suan Sonna, these classes are for adults (young and old) who want to be better able to explain the truths of faith to others. Links to the classes can be found in the Bridge.

Links to the most recent Let Me Be Frank and Literary Catholic episodes and much more can also be found in this issue of the Bridge.

Bishop Frank J. Caggiano is the fifth and current bishop of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Bridgeport. In the first year of his leadership, the diocese hosted the Fourth Synod of the Diocese of Bridgeport—the first in 32 years—as an opportunity for reform and renewal by empowering the young Church, building up communities of faith, fostering evangelical outreach, and promoting works of charity and justice.

Since then, Bishop Caggiano has overseen the launch of the Institute for Catholic Formation, foundations to support works of charity, faith, and education, the formation of guilds for specific professions and devotions to grow in Christian discipleship in prayer and formation, and other ongoing initiatives to revitalize the liturgical and pastoral life of the diocese and to further engage the youth and young adults.
