To our Parish Family:

Below is a link to a letter from Bishop Frank Caggiano, describing actions that our Diocese is taking to address the abuse crisis, to help heal those impacted by it and to rebuild confidence and trust in our Church.  At the same time I thank all those who responded to my invitation to write, email and /or meet with me about these serious issues. With this new letter I renew that invitation.

General Suggestions

Saint Mary Parish, a vibrant Roman Catholic Family of Faith, Love, and Service, located in beautiful Ridgefield, Connecticut, serves over 3,000 families in upper Fairfield County, CT, as well as Westchester County, NY.  We have also partnered with the inner city Parish of Saint Peter in Bridgeport, Connecticut.

Our Parish Mission is threefold - to live the gift of our Catholic faith each and every day, always trying to enrich our understanding of that gift and to make every effort to practice our faith in compassionate service.

In November of 2015, we established a new model of Parish leasdership, "Leadership in Collaboration," with 4 new senior staff positions, two clergy and two lay, that function in an integrated way to support the Pastor and make up his leadership team.  Click here to read more.

Bishop Caggiano Appoints Dr. Eleanor Sauers as Director of Pastoral Life
of Saint Anthony of Padua Parish, Fairfield

On Sunday, February 17, I look forward to participating in the Mass of Blessing, celebrating the appointment by Bishop Caggiano of Dr. Eleanor Sauers as Director of Pastoral Life of Saint Anthony of Padua Parish, Fairfield, which was effective January 1, 2019. Dr. Sauers is a long time member of the Parish who worked closely and effectively with the last beloved pastor, Fr. John Baran who died in April of 2018. As a Diocesan Dean, I was very happy to have supported our Bishop’s decision to appoint Eleanor to her leadership position with decision making authority in the Parish and oversight of its day to day operations. As our Bishop has stated: “Her education, formation and experience make her professionally, academically and spiritually ready for this role.” Let us keep Dr. Eleanor Sauers in our prayers.
