HELP-A-STUDENT-FUND

Saint Bridget School is deeply rooted in the Catholic traditions. Our collaborative environment nurtures academic excellence, social responsibility & Christian values in a changing & challenging world.

Saint Bridget School partners with families and our church to develop the whole person within a community of faith. As its primary goal, the HAS Fund is to assist needy students with their yearly tuition at Saint Bridget School. We need to keep the HAS Fund alive and well to do this. CAN YOU HELP? Checks may be made payable to St. Bridget HAS FUND and sent to the rectory… “since no student should be denied a Catholic education because of tuition.”

If you are interested in ‘adopting a student’, please contact: Maria Sebastian (Finance & Operations Manager) (508) 875–5959.

Your donation will be fully tax deductible.

Next Weekend’s Second Collection, “Promoting the Gospel”, will be shared by the Catholic Campaign for Human Development and the Catholic Communication Campaign. These two organizations communicate the Gospel by promoting works of justice, education and the dignity works of human life. Your generous donations will give those in poverty the support they need to make lasting changes and will support our local communications needs, such and Catholic TV programming.

Sponsor a Student! This summer, St. Bridget Parish Youth Ministry is sending a group of 9 teens along with 5 adult chaperones on a Mission trip to Mississippi to serve the, still recovering, Gulf Coast. In Mississippi, they will be working with Habitat for Humanity to help build digni ied housing for those in need. The price of this trip is approximately $825.00 per person. Please consider, a full or partial, sponsorship for one of these amazing volunteers so that they too can be a part of this life changing experience! Your support is greatly appreciated! For more information contact: Ms. Jessica Keefe jkeefe@stbridgetparish.org

Youth Ministry Car Wash & Bake Sale

On Sunday, June 17th, our Youth will be holding a Car Wash/Bake Sale, in the church and rectory parking lots, to raise money for their upcoming Mission Trip to Mississippi.

What better way to support our youth and celebrate Dad on his special day than getting a car wash and a sweet treat!

SAINT BRIDGET SCHOOL STAFF

Sacrament of Baptism Before an infant baptism parents must attend a baptismal catechesis class. Classes are held on the first Friday of each month at 7PM in the Rectory Meeting Room. If there is a change due to bad weather parents will be notified. Participants should park in the Rectory parking lot and enter the door on that level. *Dates for baptism are set once the class has been attended and all paperwork is received and complete. Baptisms take place once a month on a Sunday at 2PM. To register for class or to ask a question call 508-875-6009.

Sacrament of Marriage

Arrangements should be made with one of the priests at least one year prior to the intended date of marriage so that all requirements can be completed. Please Note: Saturday weddings can be celebrated from 10:00AM to 1:00PM at the latest. Sunday weddings can be celebrated from 1:30PM to 4:00PM at the latest.

Pastoral Ministry

Visitations to the sick and the homebound are made by Pastoral Visitors who bring the Blessed Sacrament and offer spiritual befriending on a weekly basis. If a member of your family, or friend, or neighbor is in the hospital or is home-bound, we would appreciate hearing from you. Kindly call the Pastoral Ministry Office at 508-875-6009 to request assistance.
