October 15 Education in the Diocese of Bridgeport
We have two parts this week, BOTH are focusing on the Federal Scholarship Tax Credit that New York has adopted, and hopefully Connecticut is on its way.
In the first segment, released on Wednesday, Bishop Frank welcomes Anne Lesser, President & CEO of the Invest In Education Foundation. IIEF was instrumental in getting the first-ever federal tax credit scholarship program passed last year.
In this segment, Bishop Frank speaks with two key players in the Diocese of Bridgeport - Stacie Stueber, Superintendent of Schools, and Fr Chris Ford, Episcopal Vicar for Education & Formation - to discuss the law's local impact.
This is a landmark piece of legislation, which will greatly benefit students across the country.

October 07 Going Viral on Tik Tok with Sister Miriam, OP
It started when she was a child with the commitment to simply pray just five minutes every day... it became a vocation with the Dominican Sisters of Mary Mother of the Eucharist... and it led to a question from her superior: "Will you help out with a special project?"
Now Sr Miriam OP has over 41 million views on TikTok, she's the host of Dominican Sisters Open Mic, and she's our guest on Let Me Be Frank. The Dominican Sisters teach, they provide virtue resources to dioceses and schools, and they exemplify how "media has a profound potential to evangelize", as Bishop Frank put it.
...and they pray for people, on the spot, in airports.
Enjoy this fantastic conversation!

September 30 The Holy Rosary & the American Blesseds
Who were the Albigensians?
That was the pop quiz that I failed today, as Bishop Frank gave the history of St Dominic and the rosary. He also talked about the Battle of Lepanto, the mysteries of the rosary, and the gift that the prayer is for the Church and for each of us. And then he told the stories of four American blesseds: Fr Stanley Rother, Miriam Teresa Demjanovich, Francis Xavier Seelos, and Francis Solanus.
And today’s listener question: What kind of work would Bishop Frank do if he wasn’t a priest?

September 26 What If Bishop Caggiano Was a Cartoon?
What would Bishop Frank look like as a cartoon? You don’t have to imagine it; you can catch Bishop Frank Teaches The Faith… a weekly animated series for preschool children. Patrick Donovan has spearheaded this project, as well as many other fantastic initiatives, and he joins us for the second segment of Let Me Be Frank.
This week is a blast – enjoy!

Today on Let Me Be Frank, His Excellency Bishop Caggiano answers your listener questions, including:
Who was Paul’s companion Timothy, and do we know what happened to him?
Can you tell us about Cardinal Kung? Were you ever lucky enough to have met him?
What is your response to someone who says that keeping a child with severe disabilities alive is “a waste”?
What is the difference between a chapel, a shrine, and other sites?
When they announce that you will be Saint Frank Caggiano, when would you like the world to celebrate your feast day?
Is the Catholic Old Testament the same as the Jewish Scriptures, or do they have different books or versions?
Why does John the Baptist ask, “Are you the one who is to come, or should we look for another?” after previously proclaiming Jesus as the Messiah?
How would you describe the rest of your life in five words?
If you could listen to one song for the rest of your life, what would it be?
Is there a mandatory retirement age for bishops? What do you see yourself doing, or would you like to do, after retiring?
When you said, “You and I are here together walking to heaven,” were those your own words or someone else’s?
What do you think about holding a diocesan party specifically for poor and homeless people to come and eat and drink at Christmastime?
Why does Lent sometimes begin in February with Easter in early April, and other times begin in late March with Easter close to May?
Why can’t the Church set Easter on one fixed day, as it does with other holidays? Why is there a difference between the Catholic and Eastern Orthodox dates for Easter?
Enjoy this week's episode of Let Me Be Frank!

September 16 The Miracles That Prove the Eucharist Isn't Just a Symbol
I’ll bet you’ve never heard of a “pink martyrdom”… that’s because our guest just coined it on the air today, and Bishop Frank called it “a new theological term”! Shaun McAfee, author of the Compendium of Eucharistic Miracles, joins Bishop Frank to discuss things like:
…what actually is a miracle, and what role does science play in miracles?
…what’s the unifying theme among the 100s of Eucharistic miracles that have occurred throughout history?
…and what needs to change in evangelization via social media?
This is a great conversation. Enjoy!
