The first is Galatians 6:10: “So, as we have the opportunity, let us do good to all men, especially to those who are of the household of faith.” The second is from Pope Francis and his reflection during the Feast of the Holy Family in 2017: “Christian families are missionary families. …They are missionary in everyday life, in their doing everyday things, as they bring to everything the salt and the leaven of faith!” With the most amb...

Liturgy is the most essential work we do at Saint Bridget, as the Eucharist is the source and summit of our faith.  We are blessed to have so many liturgies at Saint Bridget every weekend.  Yet these cannot take place without the help of lay ministers to greet the Assembly, proclaim the Word, and serve the Eucharist.   By virtue of our Baptism, each of us is called to serve. Everyone who is baptized has Christ’s imprint and therefore is worthy of being a Liturgy Minister, whether as an Usher, Lector or Eucharistic Minister. How might you answer the call?
