On July 31, 2013, Pope Francis announced the appointment of The Most Reverend Frank J. Caggiano, Auxiliary Bishop of the Diocese of Brooklyn, as the Fifth Bishop of the Diocese of Bridgeport.

As we celebrate the 60th Anniversary of the inception of the Diocese of Bridgeport, our Council  joins with the entire parish of St. Matthew in welcoming him with open arms and praying that God will bless him as the Shepherd of our diocese.
