September 2, 2026 · 1 min read

The Diocese of Bridgeport and the apostolate His Way At Work will launch a guild to consecrate Connecticut businesses to the Sacred Heart of Jesus.

The diocesan partnership was conceived by Bishop Frank J. Caggiano with the goal of transforming the workplace with the help of His Way At Work , an international apostolate inspiring business owners to consecrate their companies to the Sacred Heart and place God at the center.

His Way At Work, a nonprofit organization, was founded in 2008 by Peter Freissle , an entrepreneur and CEO. His Way At Work reports that it has reached nearly 500,000 employees and their families. It also has aided more than 300 companies, serving in more than 12 countries. Archbishop Salvatore Cordileone of San Francisco serves as the episcopal adviser to His Way At Work.

Caggiano said in a statement shared with EWTN News, “Most people spend the greater part of their waking hours at work, and God wants to be more present to them and through them there.

Цікаво, що вони вже охопили понад 300 компаній у 12 країнах. У нас на Полтавщині теж багато підприємців, які могли б таке запровадити, щоб працівники не відчували себе просто гвинтиками. Чи є вже якісь конкретні приклади з Коннектикуту, як це виглядає на практиці?

Yes, an interesting initiative. Here in Novi Sad, several friends have small companies and they always complain that their workers just do their hourly pay and go home. It would be interesting to see how it looks concretely in Connecticut - does the schedule change after the consecration, or are some joint prayers organized at work?

Yes, I have also heard similar stories from friends whose daughters work in small companies here. In Connecticut, as I understand it, after the dedication, the owners often organize voluntary prayers before the start of the shift or short discussions about values, but nothing forced. And how do your friends from Novi Sad think they should apply it to themselves, do they already have any ideas?

Yes, I've heard of similar problems with workers who just do their job and leave. In Connecticut, according to what he writes, after the dedication, the owners often start sharing lunch with the employees or asking them how their families are doing, so that cold atmosphere slowly changes. And have your friends from Novi Sad tried at least something similar, even a small icon in the office or to pray before work?
