Bishop Caggiano announces Rosary Weekend

Bishop Caggiano has established Rosary Weekend as an annual tradition for the Diocese of Bridgeport. The first observance will take place on October 3 and 4, 2026, to honor Our Lady of the Rosary.

During this weekend, all Sunday Masses across the diocese will use the Votive Mass of Our Lady of the Rosary. While the liturgy will use readings from the Sunday of Ordinary Time, the Bishop stated that homilies should reflect on the role of Mary in the lives of Christians and explain the power of the Rosary as a prayer. All attendees at Mass during the weekend will also recite a prayer of consecratio together.

Bishop Caggiano said the new tradition aims to draw the faithful closer to Christ through the intercession of Mary. He noted that the Rosary serves as a way to contemplate the life of Jesus through its mysteries and provides maternal guidance in a world marked by anxiety and division.
