This marks the launch of the 2025 Diocese of Bridgeport Bishop’s Appeal. Last year St. Leo showed it’s true heart and generosity by not only achieving our donation goal, but surpassing the previous year’s contributions by 27%. $136,520 has been collected in cash which is 105.26% of the $129,700 parish goal. And our parish was recognized at a recent diocesan meeting with the Bishop for pastors and the parish leaders of the campaign! Thank You!
This year’s donation goal for St. Leo remains the same as last year, $129,700, and our hope is to have more and more people participating. And whatever is pledged above our goal before June 30th will come back to our parish.
Please see Bishop Caggiano’s 2025 Bishop’s Appeal message below:
My dear friends,We have embarked on a remarkable journey of spiritual and pastoral renewal for our diocese. This renewal, called “The One,” unites us as one family, supporting and accompanying each other to transform lives. With a joyful and grateful heart, I invite you to support the 2025 Bishop’s Appeal, which provides the resources to help people encounter Christ and grow in faith.

Thank you for your generosity and support. Let us pray together that the Holy Spirit will guide and bless our efforts, allowing this work of renewal to bear abundant fruit—not because of what we do, but because of His infinite grace.
Thank you for your gift to the 2025 Bishop’s Appeal. May God bless you abundantly.
Most Reverend Frank J. Caggiano Bishop of Bridgeport
