This coming Friday, September 10th, the Daily Television Mass will be broadcast live from St. Bridget Church to mark the opening of the school year.

Tuna Drive
St. Bridget Church has been supporting the Haiti project since 1988 with the school children collecting items during the six weeks of lent.
Then it grew to include collecting Tuna to feed the Haitian people. Each year volunteers collected cardboard boxes to be filled with cans of tuna during the annual Tuna drive. It was certainly a labor of love. When the tuna drive approaches, flyers, bulletin announcements, lunch bags were decorated by the school children as reminders to bring the tuna to church.

GodparentsAmong the most important people in a child’s life should be the godparents. The work of these individuals is to help the parents to raise their children in the faith and to present to the child a model for living as a follower of Jesus. Being a godparent does not necessarily mean that if something should happen to the parents, the godparent raises the child. Only one Roman Catholic godparent is necessary.

- Be sure that you are registered in the parish. If you aren’t sure just call the secretary in the office and ask her to check for you. If you are not registered, you may pick up a registration form at the back of the church or auditorium...
