Education News from St. Bridget School
Middle School
Ministry
All 6th-8th graders are welcome to join us for our first Group Night of the Semester! Wednesday, January 16th, from 6PM-8PM at The Underground we will be hosting our first ever MSM Group Night! At St. Bridget Student Ministries we believe that fun leads to trust and trust leads to vulnerability, openness, and a sense of belonging. As we strive to provide an environment of belonging and healthy community for all of our students, we believe these nights will be instrumental in helping form the St. Bridget Middle School Ministry Family into the best that it can be! We can’t wait to see your student there!
