HELP-A-STUDENT-FUND

Saint Bridget School is deeply rooted in the Catholic traditions. Our collaborative environment nurtures academic excellence, social responsibility & Christian values in a changing & challenging world.

Saint Bridget School partners with families and our church to develop the whole person within a community of faith. As its primary goal, the HAS Fund is to assist needy students with their yearly tuition at Saint Bridget School. We need to keep the HAS Fund alive and well to do this. CAN YOU HELP? Checks may be made payable to St. Bridget HAS FUND and sent to the rectory… “since no student should be denied a Catholic education because of tuition.”

If you are interested in ‘adopting a student’, please contact: Maria Sebastian (Finance & Operations Manager) (508) 875–5959.

Your donation will be fully tax deductible.

Pastoral Visitors Remember to RSVP for our annual dinner on June 4th at 5:00PM in the rectory meeting room. Food will need to be ordered so don’t hesitate! Thanks to all who make this ministry possible! RSVP to Karen at 508-875-6009 or kmallozzi@stbridgetparish.org The Parish Office will be closed

Sacrament of Baptism

Before an infant baptism parents must attend a baptismal catechesis class. Classes are held on the first Friday of each month at 7PM in the Rectory Meeting Room. If there is a change due to bad weather parents will be notified. Participants should park in the Rectory parking lot and enter the door on that level. *Dates for baptism are set once the class has been attended and all paperwork is received and complete. Baptisms take place once a month on a Sunday at 2PM. To register for class or to ask a question call 508-875-6009.

Sacrament of Marriage Arrangements should be made with one of the priests at least one year prior to the intended date of marriage so that all requirements can be completed. Please Note: Saturday weddings can be celebrated from 10:00AM to 1:00PM at the latest. Sunday weddings can be celebrated from 1:30PM to 4:00PM at the latest.

Pastoral Ministry Visitations to the sick and the homebound are made by Pastoral Visitors who bring the Blessed Sacrament and offer spiritual befriending on a weekly basis. If a member of your family, or friend, or neighbor is in the hospital or is home-bound, we would appreciate hearing from you. Kindly call the Pastoral Ministry Office at 508-875-6009 to request assistance.
