On Sunday September 22, the Most Reverend Frank Caggiano, who will be formally installed as the fifth Bishop of the Diocese of Bridgeport on September 19 at St. Theresa Parish in Trumbull, will visit St. Margaret Shrine on Park Avenue for the dedication ceremony of the new St. Pio of Pietrelcina Memorial Shrine. Mass will be officiated by Reverend Father Alfonso Picone at 12:30 p.m. followed by the blessing of the ‘Cappella.’
Afterwards, a celebration dinner will take place at the Circolo Sportivo Italo-Americano Club on Park Avenue. The event is sponsored by the St. Pio Society to recognize the generosity of the many volunteers who helped build and beautify the area.
“We anticipate a large gathering and Bishop Caggiano’s presence and blessing speaks volume to the parishioners and visitors in attendance,” says Pia Ramadanovic, president of the St. Pio Society.

Best wishes to Bishop Frank Caggiano. May he inspire and use divine wisdom. It is my sincere hope he can help restore integrity, goodwill and compassion to the Church. Welcome to Bridgeport. You will love it here and I am sure I can speak for all faiths when I wish you well and may G-d’s Grace be upon you.
Hypocrite.
Not at all, yahooy. But you are one rude anonymous ass.
The Diocese of Bridgeport will welcome Bishop Caggiano as its new institutional leader. It was widely reported his predecessor, now Archbishop of Baltimore, came to Fairfield County to “cleam up the mess” left by his predecessor. That Bishop left for New York where he added Cardinal to his Church titles before retiring.
As Bishop Caggiano becomes institutional leader responsible for over 100 parishes, schools, cemeteries, and other Catholic programs, projects and entities, Church members can hope his pastoral style, personal intelligence, and life experience assists him in necessary work facing him as a Catholic leader in the community of Fairfield County which represents broad examples of significant personal and corporate wealth as well as urban poverty that tends to persist. People of faith are the church and service to all of the people is demonstrated by open, accountable and transparent process and governance. May Bishop Frank use his God-given abilities to humbly become that part of change that serves the people. Time will tell.
May you heal the wounds that came before you … God bless.
