Vespers and Potluck -- Sunday, May 20th

The Vespers Service is in honor of Mary, during the month of May--a month dedicated to her honor.  The potluck is open to all the families of the parish community and you are invited to bring a hotdish, salad, or dessert.  Bread, butter, and beverages will be provided, as well as plates, utensils, etc.  The Vespers will be in the church and the potluck will be in Brennan Hall.

The Annual Neighborhood Ice Cream Social, Wednesday, July 25th 6:00 PM

Weather permitting, we will gather on the east lawn of the church at the St. Bridget Campus.   We will serve hot dogs, chips, pie, cookies, and ice cream, as well as an assortment of cold beverages.  Members of the parish community are invited to help set-up and clean-up, serve our guests, and donate pies, cookies, and 2-liter bottles of pop.  As usual, there will be door prizes and an opportunity to get to know our neighbors.

Grandparent's Day Sunday, July 29th at the 9:30 AM Mass at St. Austin Campus

This annual event is held on the weekend following the Feast of Saints Joachim and Anne (July 26th), the parents of Mary and the grandparents of Jesus.  There will be a special blessing for all grandparents, as well as a time of hospitality in Brennan Hall after the Mass.  Grandparents from the parish community are encouraged to invite their grandchildren to join us and the young people of the community are encouraged to invite their grandparents. 

NON-PERISHABLE FOOD ITEMS DONATIONS

Non-perishable food items may be brought to St. Austin’s on the first weekend of the month [Thomas Avenue vestibule] and to St. Bridget’s at any time [Dowling Avenue vestibule]. Donations brought to St. Austin’s support the food shelf at St. Olaf’s Catholic Church and those brought to St. Bridget’s support the neighborhood food shelf at Sanctuary Covenant Church.

ARTS & CRAFTS GROUP

There is a craft group that meets each Tuesday morning and afternoon at the St. Austin Campus. The folks who presently make up the group would welcome the presence and creativity of the men and women of St. Bridget’s. The crafts that are produced are sold at parish festivals, sales, and other occasions. Since Tuesday morning Mass is at the St. Austin Campus, why not come to Mass some Tuesday morning and stay to check out the craft group?

SUNDAY HOSPITALITY

In response to requests for more opportunities for hospitality after Mass and in an effort to provide another occasion for us to get to know one another and form a greater sense of community, there will be donuts and coffee after Sunday Mass twice each month—on the 2nd and 4th Sundays. If you are willing to help set-up, serve, and clean-up on a regular or occasional basis, call the Parish Office during regular hours and let us know.
