Middle School Ministry
All 6th-8th graders are welcome to join us for Group Night this Wednesday, February 20th, at 6PM-8PM in The Underground. 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 and these nights are 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!

Looking Ahead to Lent
Lent begins March 6th on Ash Wednesday.
"I often speak of the absolute importance of daily prayer. There are thousands of books on prayer, but sometimes we are afraid to get started or do not know how to begin. Join me this Lent for the 8-week (March 2-April 20) Spiritual Exercises based on St. Ignatius of Loyola. You will have access to online material and guidance for prayer each day. Every Saturday, beginning March 2, we will meet at 10:30 am at Mitchell Hall to discuss an aspect of prayer (optional). If you have always wanted to pray better this is your opportunity. This Lent, offer Jesus 30 minutes a day in prayer and watch your life change. Start or deepen your journey of prayer this Lent you will be eternally grateful that you did."
Fr. Browning
St. Bridget, pray for us
