The Homily for the 2nd Sunday in Easter was given by Deacon Rich Heineman. We do not have Homily notes from Deacon Rich.


"Preach always...and use words when you have to." These words are attributed to St. Francis of Assisi and remind us that the most effective sermon any of us can give is not with words but with the integrity and authenticity of our lives. However, every day--and most especially on Sunday--the Church presents us with Scriptures to inform and challenge us as we strive to live the Gospel.

"The Good Word" is the notes for Fr. Anthony's homily from the Masses celebrated each weekend at the Church of St Bridget. We hope that you will find these notes helpful if you were unable to be with us on a particular weekend or that you will find them useful for your reflection throughout the week. The text is in PDF form that can be read on line or downloaded to your desktop.
