Come to the Virginia March for Life on April 2!
Continued witness at the state capitol is urgently needed!
This year, the General Assembly passed an extreme resolution that would allow virtually unlimited abortion at any stage of pregnancy – the first step in the two-year process required to amend Virginia’s constitution.
Your continued witness at the state capitol for life and against this radical constitutional amendment proposal is urgently needed! Please attend the Virginia March for Life in Richmond on April 2. There is a rally at 11am, followed by the march at noon.
Register here and see more details!

Liturgy Committee Request - Holy Thursday Foot Washing
Please consider the email below from the Liturgy Committee:
Good evening,
On behalf of the parish's Liturgy Committee, I am reaching out asking you to prayerfully consider submitting a nominee from the Men's Ministry to be a part of our parish's Triduum celebration. We will continue the beautiful tradition of foot washing on Holy Thursday - the Evening Mass of the Lord’s Supper and Transfer of the Most Blessed Sacrament. This practice, incorporated in many Catholic parishes across the world (including by our Pope), is a beautiful sign of humility and service.
Father Ken and Father Seth will wash the feet of twelve volunteers at Mass on Holy Thursday evening - April 17th at 7:00 PM. We're reaching out to you for a nominee from the Men's Ministry to join this group of twelve. Please reply to me or Don Delaney with your representative by April 3rd.
Thank you for the good work you do for our parish and for your consideration of this request.
Regards,
Brooke B
St. Bridget Liturgy Committee
