Mass of Reparation
As a spiritual response to the very challenging crisis of clergy abuse and the revelations of cover up by church authorities, we are having a Mass of Reparation on October 27, 2018 at 5pm. Please join us as we pray together for the abuse victims and families, and for the ongoing efforts of all in our Church to address these issues.
Liturgical Reforms
When the liturgical reforms of the second Vatican council were promulgated, the lives of many of the faithful were disrupted because they were neither informed nor prepared for the changes to come.
As we look forward to the promulgation of our own revised liturgical norms, Bishop Caggiano is committed to avoiding that same mistake. The Revised Liturgical Norms for the Diocese of Bridgeport will be promulgated on the first Sunday of Advent, December 2, 2018. Between now and then, we will embark on a comprehensive catechetical and communication strategy so that when the norms are made public, there is a more complete understanding of what we aim to do, namely, raise awareness of and commitment to a celebration of the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass that is both faithful and universal
