LIVESTREAM REPLAY OF PRE-MASS AND MASS OF THANKSGIVING
Thank you for joining us! The video begins with pre-Mass. Mass begins at approximately 1:42:00.
Listen to Bishop Frank Caggiano’s podcast: The National Eucharistic Revival and Our Diocese’s Eucharistic Renewal.
Bishop Caggiano has spent much of the last year laying the groundwork for Diocesan renewal by calling all of us to focus on “The One,” the single invitation to all believers to grow closer to Christ and to be accompanied on their faith journey through truth, beauty and goodness. At the center and the summit of our Catholic faith is the Eucharist: Jesus, truly present, body, blood, soul and divinity under the appearances of bread and wine.
As part of the National Eucharistic Pilgrimage, all are invited to join in our 2024 Eucharistic Procession in the Diocese of Bridgeport. It will be a 15-day event including multiple processions, special Masses, daily and overnight adoration, Eucharistic Stations, guest homilists and special events.
Our Diocesan Eucharistic Procession begins in Bridgeport at Blessed Sacrament Church on Pentecost Sunday, May 19, 2024 at noon. After that, processions will move through towns of Fairfield, Ridgefield, Norwalk, Darien, Stamford and Greenwich. See below for a full breakdown of where the procession will be and when.
The Diocesan Eucharistic Processions will culminate in a Mass of Thanksgiving at Fairfield University on the Eve of Corpus Christi, Saturday, June 1, 2024. The upcoming Eucharistic Procession throughout the Diocese is an historic invitation to celebrate the gift of the Eucharist in our lives. It will be a time of celebration, communal witness, spiritual renewal, and encounter with the Lord.
EUCHARISTIC RENEWAL EVENTS
In addition to the National Eucharistic Pilgrimage visiting the Diocese of Bridgeport from May 19 to 22, there will be several other local celebrations of Eucharistic Renewal in the diocese throughout May and June!
