The Aquinas Institute for Teacher Formation

Our Diocese of Bridgeport Teacher Formation Program invites you to embark on a fulfilling journey of shaping young minds within the framework of our Catholic faith. Recognizing the pivotal role of skilled and caring teachers in a student’s success, our program is designed to attract mission-aligned individuals who aspire to teach but do not have the necessary credentials.

We will publish more information and application forms here later this week. Please visit us again!


Lord our God, in your wisdom and love you surround us with the mysteries of the universe. In times long past you sent us your prophets to teach your laws and to bear witness to your undying love. You sent us your Son to teach us by word and example that true wisdom comes from you alone. Send your Spirit upon and bless our teachers and their students and fill the with your wisdom and blessings. Grant that during this academic year they may devote themselves to their work and studies and share what they have learned from others.

Grand this through Christ our Lord.
Amen.
