A highlight of the evening was the debut of the "Apronettes" who led everyone in singing the following song to the tune of "That's Amore".
When you walk through the door
and the folks say “Bon Jour!”
....That’s St. Brigid.
When you walk down the street
and hermanos you meet
....That’s St Brigid.
Church bells ring, ting a ling a ling,
and the children sing
You can hear people praying.
After holy hour, go to happy hour,
be there sun or shower
‘cause we also like playing
When you show up at six,
and hear Jimmy Hendrix
....That’s St Brigid.
Whether you’re young or old
you don’t need to be sold on our life
If you dance up the aisle
with Carribean style, that’s St. Brigid
Scuzza me, we are happy to be
in the church of St. Brigid.
If you’ve come from afar
via bus, train or car
.... to St Brigid.
When the school is the best
in the north,south,east, west
....That’s St Brigid.
Invigorate your soul, habla español,
o parlez Kreyol
you belong here
Come from cross the sea? Maybe Italy
-- or else Sicily
you’ll be strong here.
If you’re woman or man
and perhaps African
....That’s St Brigid.
If you’re Irish or Scott
Philipino or not, you’re alright
Our doors are flung wide
you’re invited inside at St. Brigid
If you just look around and
you see who you’ve found
That’s Saint Brigid!
If there’s mass at the beach
and the gospel you preach
...That’s St. Brigid!
If you praise to the Lord
and you’re not ever bored
...That’s St. Brigid!
En realidad, en comunidad,
offer thanks to God
and say “grazie tutti”
Teach religion class, come and help at mass, get up off your [couch]
and bring in cans of frutti.
When we feed folks with manna at
Casa Mary Johanna...That’s St. Brigid!
The gardens are nice
we’ve weeded them twice, once a day.
Brigid’s Attic and Well,
and an Outreach that’s swell
...it’s St. Brigid!
So don’t you all agree
We are one family at St. Brigid!
Our crossing guard
Ida Cain won the
"door" prize!
You are Person
