Amen

Advancement, Marketing & Enrollment Network (AMEN)

The Advancement, Marketing & Enrollment Network (AMEN) is a collaborative initiative of the Office of the Superintendent dedicated to supporting and enhancing the growth, visibility, and long-term success of all 24 diocesan schools within the Diocese of Bridgeport.

AMEN brings together professionals responsible for advancement, marketing, communications, admissions, enrollment, and community engagement to share ideas, strategies, and best practices. Through regular meetings, professional development opportunities, and collaboration with industry experts, members work together to strengthen Catholic education across the diocese.

The network empowers schools with innovative strategies, professional expertise, and proven best practices in the areas most critical to growth and long term success, including enrollment management, marketing, branding, social media, public relations, development and family engagement. By sharing successful initiatives and proven strategies, AMEN helps schools enhance their outreach efforts, strengthen their communities, and support sustainable enrollment growth.

Through collaboration and innovation, AMEN strengthens the mission of Catholic education while ensuring that families throughout the Diocese of Bridgeport have access to exceptional faith-based learning opportunities. The Office of the Superintendent conducts approximately four AMEN meetings each school year and one meeting over the summer. Facilitated by our Community Engagement Specialist, these meetings are hosted by schools throughout the Diocese of Bridgeport.

Our summer AMEN meeting is scheduled for August 5, 2026 at 10AM at our Shelton office with Joe Pisani and Emily Clark from the Fairfield County Catholic.
