Greetings in Christ!
I hope you are finding fun ways to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day!
My husband and I were visiting our son in New York City recently. Whenever we make the trip to NYC, we always plan to stop by St. Patrick’s Cathedral for prayer and solitude.
St. Patrick’s Cathedral is truly magnificent, my picture doesn’t fully capture the essence! I could not help but to compare Saint Patrick’s Cathedral to Saint Bridget Church – the beauty of both churches inspires us to pray and offers a place of quiet reflection. We are so very fortunate to worship and gather together in the splendor that is Saint Bridget parish!
As Director of Stewardship, I was interested to learn that, according to the International Catholic Stewardship Council March 2023 Stewardship e-bulletin: ”Saint Patrick wrote about Stewardship, ‘whatever good he had been able to accomplish on behalf of the Lord … has been a gift from God.’ ”
Thank you! We cannot say Thank You enough! Your generous financial contributions are our primary source of income that makes it possible for Saint Bridget Church to provide outreach to those less fortunate, to maintain the 70+ year old buildings, and to assure that we operate on sound financial footing. Our parish ministries are in need of your support. If you are able, please consider giving now.
Regardless of the method or amount, we are forever grateful for your faithfulness and prayerful considerations of making a gift to Saint Bridget Church!
Take time for yourself during your Lenten Journey. Plan on joining us for Stations of the Cross at 5:30pm on March 17th and stay for a Lenten Soup Supper.
“I arise today through God’s strength to pilot me;
God’s might to uphold me,
God’s wisdom to guide me,
God’s ear to hear me,
God’s word to speak for me,
God’s hand to guard me,
God’s way to lie before me,
God’s shield to protect me afar and anear, alone or in a multitude.”
―St. Patrick
