Bishop Frank J. Caggiano launches new guild for business owners

Bishop Frank J. Caggiano joined local entrepreneurs on October 22 for the launch of the Sts. Louis and Zelie Martin Guild for Business Owners at St. Thomas Aquinas Parish. The guild is a partnership between the Diocese of Bridgeport and His Way at Work, an international association that helps business owners integrate faith into their workplaces.

Nearly 40 business owners attended the kickoff event to learn about consecrating their companies to the Sacred Heart of Jesus. Deacon Patrick Toole, chancellor and secretary of the curia, said the guild provides specific formation for leaders and offers a way for business owners to support one another.

His Way at Work was founded in 2008 by Peter Freissle to help companies build cultures based on service and compassion. The new diocesan guild seeks to connect Catholic entrepreneurs and explore how their faith affects their professional leadership.
