Have you ever been to a priest's ordination?

It is one of the most magnificent experiences in the life of the Catholic Church. Our diocese is blessed to have two men who will be ordained to the Sacred Priesthood on Saturday, June 13th, at 11am at the Cathedral. ALL ARE WELCOME.

In the meantime, please keep Deacons Colón and Mendez in your prayers this week!

Happy Feast Day to our parish, Blessed Sacrament, in Bridgeport!

Happy Feast Day to our parish, Blessed Sacrament, in Bridgeport!

Today on the Solemnity of Corpus Christi, the Most Holy Body and Blood of Christ, we recall the words of Saint Thomas Aquinas, "The Eucharist is the sacrament of love: it signifies love, it produces love. The Eucharist is the consummation of the whole spiritual life."
