SOLEMNITY OF ST. BRIDGET - February 1st

This solemnity will be celebrated on Wednesday, February 1st at 8:00 AM. Following the Mass, there will be a time of fellowship in the Gathering Area of the Church. Our special guest will be Rev. T. Michael Rock, pastor of Robbinsdale United Church of Christ. Pastor Rock will guide us through the process of making a St. Bridget’s Cross. This is a cross made of reeds and is traditionally woven on her feast and hung over the doors of homes and barns to ask Bridget’s protection of family and farm animals.

Friday, February 3rd is the Feast of St. Blase, whose intercession we seek against ailments of the throat. The traditional blessing of throats will take place within the 8:00 AM Mass on that day.

CALLING ALL THE WOMEN OF THE PARISH COMMUNITY

We presently have two organizations that seek to bring together the women of the parish community for social and community outreach: The St. Bridget Altar & Rosary Society and the St. Austin Council of Catholic Women. In an effort to bring these two groups together, we invite the women of the parish to attend the following two events. In addition to discussing ways to unite these two groups, it will also give the ladies an opportunity to get to know one another and hear about their histories and activities.
