The 2022 Bishop’s Appeal calls us to renewed hope and a deepened commitment to serve our neighbor. Your gift enables the diocese to continue works of charity, formation in faith, education and catechesis. It provides programs and ministries that feed the hungry and counsel the homeless who live among us; help youth develop their minds and grow in faith; sustain our priests, active and retired; prepare men for the diaconate and the priesthood; provide Catholic education through scholarships; and much more.
Thus far our parish has raised $89,954 for the Annual Appeal bringing the parish to 99% of its $90,500 goal. Thank you for your generosity. If you have not yet responded to the 2022 Bishop’s Appeal, please reflect upon the importance of your support to ministry and outreach that relies upon the charity of the Diocese of Bridgeport. The challenge is immediate and far-reaching, but the solution is within our reach!
Since its founding in 1999. Saint Catherine Academy has been committed to providing the highest quality education program for students who are impacted with autism, intellectual and developmental disabilities. In 2014, this essential ministry became Saint Catherine Center for Special Needs to centralize pastoral and educational support for individuals with disabilities and added an Adult Day Program for adults with disabilities. The Center partners with parishes, religious educators and school personnel to support the needs of individuals throughout the Diocese. Giving to the Bishop's Appeal ensures that this life-affirming organization will continue to provide a quality education and a living faith for children and adults with special needs. Thank you for your support.
“We are called to recognize in every person with disabilities, a unique contribution to the
common good,” Pope Francis 12/3/2019.
This year the Academy will serve 900 children. Despite tuition being only $5,150 a year, 85% families cannot afford this so the school must award more than $2 million annually in financial assistance. More than 80% of students perform at grade level compared with only 23% in the Bridgeport public school system, and 100% of student’s graduate high school compared with barely 70% of Bridgeport public school students. Donations to the Bishop’s Appeal enable inner-city youth to become faith-filled, industrious, responsible and well-educated adults. Our world and the Church need these young students to excel academically and to develop a strong and active faith in God.
Whatever you decide, your gift will be greatly appreciated and make a difference in the lives of others. Today you have the opportunity to help us reach the goal
If you have already given your gift, we thank you. If you haven’t yet, please consider extending your generosity in order to reach the goal and to be of service to our needy brothers and sisters. No gift is too great or too small.
Thank you for your generosity and support.
