2026 Bishop’s Appeal
The Catholic Academy of Bridgeport is one school on four campuses in the inner city of Bridgeport – St. Andrew, St. Ann, St. Augustine and St. Raphael — and is accredited by the New England Association of Schools and Colleges (NEASC). Its mission is to provide a Christ-centered, academically rigorous learning environment where cultural diversity is welcomed, Catholic values taught and all faiths celebrated. Students are nurtured, encouraged and challenged in preparation for a successful life of leadership and service. This year 845 of the 880 children served qualified for need-based financial assistance, and CAB awards over $3.3M in need-based financial aid annually.
One hundred percent of students graduate from high school and 99% go on to attend college or post-secondary school – outcomes that far exceed those of Bridgeport charter and public schools.
Donations to the Bishop’s Appeal enable inner-city youth to become faith-filled, industrious, responsible and well-educated adults. Our world and the Church need these young students to excel academically and to develop a strong and active faith in God. To learn more please visit: www.2026BishopsAppeal.org. Thank you for Your support!

We are hopeful that 100% of our registered households will respond to the 2026 Bishop’s Appeal. While the level of sacrifice will differ from parishioner to parishioner, an Appeal gift this year is within the reach of the majority of our people. Please prayerfully consider supporting the Bishop’s Appeal with a pledge or one-time gift as your means allow. Your support is much needed and will be greatly appreciated!
