A multimillion-dollar project will help deal with a wave of priest retirements in the next few years, Bishop Frank Caggiano of the Diocese of Bridgeport said during a groundbreaking ceremony in Stamford on Friday afternoon, Nov. 21. Construction will start in the spring on a 16-unit expansion at the Catherine Dennis Keefe, Queen of the Clergy retired priests residence at 274 Strawberry Hill Ave. It serves retired priests throughout the Roman Catholic Diocese, which includes all of Fairfield County and has 82 parishes. Caggiano said the diocese is expecting the retirement of about 80 priests in the next few years, and the expansion will play a large role in accommodating priests who want to stay in the community.
