THANK YOU to the parishioners who attended the Parish Pilgrimage to the Shrine of St. Rose Philippine Duchesne and Fr. Burkemper for celebrating Holy Mass with us. It was an AMAZING experience!
The Archdiocese of St. Louis is fortunate to have
St. Rose Philippine Duchesne's sarcophagus and personal artifacts on display.
They were both spiritual and awe-inspiring.
St. Rose Philippine Duchesne celebrates her Feast Day on Friday, November 18th!
Adopt-A-Family Giving Tree
Our St. Bridget of Kildare Parish Giving Tree is going up in the vestibule of church. As a reminder, this is NOT a St. Vincent de Paul activity, but a St. Bridget of Kildare Parish activity.
We are adopting 16 families with a total of 45 children this year. There are 315 cards on our tree. This is a huge undertaking for our parish, but we know the generosity of our parishioners and hope that this goal is attainable, especially in this time of need.
If you take a card from the tree, please return the wrapped item no later than Sunday, December 11th. The church is open during the day, so gifts could be left any day before the 11th.
You do not need to secure the card to the package with more than one piece of tape, as these cards are removed from the package and actual Christmas tags with the child’s name are added. Also, if you take a gas card or gift card request, (CONSIDER BUYING SCRIPT GIFT CARDS at CHURCH) please tape it to the original card. Do not wrap the gift cards, as all cards must be verified and are placed in envelopes for each family. The parishioners of St. Bridget of Kildare continue to be generous at this time of year, and we appreciate all that you do.
FIRST SATURDAY MASS 12/3/22
December 3rd, 2022 celebration of Holy Mass on Saturday at 8:00am.
Unlike before, Mass will be offered in English as a "typical" daily Mass rather than in the Extraordinary Form (Traditional Latin Mass).

March for Life 2023 – Registration Now Open
Deadline December 27th, 2022
MISSOURI LIFE CARAVAN is now accepting registrations for our bus trip to the annual March for Life in Washington, D.C. Thursday- Saturday, Jan. 19-21, 2023. In 2023, we will travel to D.C. to give thanks that the Supreme Court, in the Dobbs decision, has overturned the abhorrent Roe v Wade ruling. However, we must continue in our goal to make abortion unthinkable. We will meet with our representatives and tell them that taxpayers should not have to pay for abortion,
and to peacefully March to change hearts and minds. This trip is open to anyone ages 7 and up (chaperones not provided). We depart from several locations in the St. Louis area. We do not stay in hotels as we sleep on the buses. Seats are limited.
The cost is $270. For more information, to register or to sponsor a rider go to www.missourilifecaravan.org. Contact us at: 314-434-4900 or mrl.eastern@yahoo.com.
