Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,
I am grateful to all who have made their commitment to the Bishop’s Appeal, and I am reminded of the transformation it provides to so many individuals and families.
If you have not yet had time to participate, I hope you will consider making a gift today. We are close to achieving our 2023 Bishop’s Appeal goal and I need your help to close out the campaign.
This year’s theme, “One in Christ,” focuses on opportunities for encounters with Christ. The vision and ministries it supports offer a realistic path to strengthening our relationship with Christ and bringing others back to the Church. It provides for the programs and services that focus on all people in our diocese, which is extraordinarily diverse in terms of ethnicity, financial stability and lifestyles— whether it is learning and growing in faith; providing basic daily living needs such as food, clothing, and shelter through Catholic Charities; offering tuition assistance for students to attend a diocesan school; supporting seminarians in their discernment process; and more.
Your generosity over the years has made an incredible impact. I have had the privilege of seeing firsthand the faces of people who have been helped and the positive effects of programs and ministries because you took the time to make a gift that changes lives.
Please prayerfully consider renewing your commitment by making a gift to this year’s Bishop’s Appeal. You may make it on line at www.2023BishopsAppeal.org. Thank you for supporting your parish, our diocese and the work that we do as the Body of Christ.
On behalf of all those who benefit from your support, thank you for making a difference in the lives of so many people every day.
With every best wish for God‘s blessings upon you and your family, I am
Most Reverend Frank J. Caggiano,
Bishop of Bridgeport
