Terry
Patterson (334.0021) coordinates our ministry to the
sick and homebound. Please call the Rectory when someone
is hospitalized for the prayers of the community. The
Sacrament of the Anointing of the Sick is celebrated
every Friday after the 12:10 Mass.
Ministry of Winter Grace
The
outreach to Seniors, Homebound and Physically Challenged.
As our population continues to age there are more and
more needs to fill. At the present time we are serving
over 80 families in our community. There are many opportunities
to share your time and gifts in this ministry. Perhaps
you could visit a homebound person for an hour a week,
take someone shopping or shop for them, take a parishioner
to church on Saturday evening or Sunday, be a driver
for someone going to the doctor, therapy, dialysis or
chemotherapy. If you could give an hour or so once a
week, every other week, or once a month, please leave
a message at The Parish Center and I will return your
call. Thank you. Jesus' Love & Peace — Terry

Parish Outreach
The
mission of St BrigidŐs Parish Outreach Program is to
represent the faith community of the Parish of St. Brigid
in extending our human, material, financial and spiritual
resources to the greater community. Our services are
open to all within our parishŐs geographical bounds
regardless of their religion, ethnicity, or social or
economic history.
Thanks to our Webmaster, John Ammirati, our site on
the Worldwide Web is not only looking good, but doing
good as we offer a listing of social service resources
on line. Check

Project Rachel
Project
Rachel operates as a network of professional counselors
and priests, all trained to provide one-on-one spiritual
and psychological care for those who are suffering because
of an abortion. Although most dioceses use the name
Project Rachel, some programs are named differently.
In addition to individualized counseling, some programs
include support groups and retreats. Founded in 1984
by Victoria Thorn in Milwaukee, today Project Rachel
programs can be found in 140 Catholic dioceses in the
United States, as well as in dioceses in other countries.

Retrovaille (Marriage Encounter)
The
program can help couples who decide to do something
positive about their marriage as they try to work at
rediscovering each other in a new and positive way.
It is for couples who finally realise that their pain
and problems in their relationship will not ease unless
they are willing to work at it themselves. Also visit
the official website.
