Eucharistic Renewal (“The One”)

“The One” is the Diocese of Bridgeport’s commitment to renew the ecclesial culture of our Church and to bring every believer closer to the Lord Jesus. This renewal is achieved by creating opportunities to encounter the Lord’s power and love while fostering small communities of faith that will accompany and support its members on their faith journeys. “The One” is the single greatest priority we will embrace as a diocesan family in the years ahead.
