Watch the Mass of Thanksgiving live w/ Bishop Caggiano
Thursday, May 15, 7 PM from St. Augustine Cathedral, Bridgeport

Diocese of Bridgeport

Welcome!

The Bishop's Lecture Series has been transformed into The Forum for Catholic Discipleship Lectures. The Forum exists to promote the holistic formation of adult Catholics through encounters with truth, beauty, and goodness, while being accompanied in spiritual friendship the entire way.

The lectures under The Forum continue the mission of what came before, bringing nationally renowned Catholic writers and speakers who illuminate the path of renewal while tackling pressing catechetical, theological, and pastoral issues.

The parent website for The Forum for Catholic Discipleship will the available soon as a live menu item in the main menu.

Lecture Cycles

There will be four lectures every cycle, starting with the first lecture in September and concluding with the final one in April of the next calendar year; there will be no lectures between April and September (May, June, July, August), which is the usual practice. Each lecture will cover one of these areas: truth, beauty, goodness, and accompaniment.

Our overarching theme this lecture cycle is Journey to Emmaus.
