The Connecticut Federation of Catholic School Parents was established by the Archbishop of Hartford and the Bishops of Bridgeport and Norwich. Its purpose is to represent Catholic schools in Connecticut at all levels of Government. The Federation is committed to educating Catholic school parents and the Catholic school community, regarding the rights and issues concerning the education of children attending Catholic Schools.

The Federation will work to protect, preserve and expand those rights and guarantee that children in Catholic schools are provided the public services to which they are entitled to the fullest extent of current law and expand those rights so that more children have the opportunity to attend Catholic schools.

The Federation has established the Federation's Grassroots Advocacy Network, which is designed to organize Catholic school parents, alumni and those committed to Catholic education and make them aware of the issues confronting Catholic schools.
