Hello Gentlemen of St. Bridget!
Can you believe another year has gone by? Boy time flies!
The Saints and Sinners are looking forward to their annual “Spring Into Summer” Dinner. They would be very pleased if the Gentlemen of St. Bridget would once again grace them with their presence with the gift of their choral talents!
The dinner is on Thursday, June 11th from 5 to 8. Cocktail hour is at 5, and dinner at 6.
The Saints and Sinners have chosen a theme that should be fun: the Great American Picnic! Dinner will likely be grilled hamburgers and hot dogs with related sides ‘n fix’ns! And, Apple Pie and ice cream for dessert! Yum!
Musical selections by Allen will complement this theme and should be fun!
Will you as a Gentleman of St. Bridget join the Saints and Sinners again? I will be supplying some Great American Beers to help the Great Gentlemen of St. Bridgets to be appropriately hydrated! Spouses are encouraged to join in on the fun!
Please reply back to me at jkmcculla@comcast.net . Our fearless leader Wayne Slough is off to Italy shortly with his bride!
Thank you all! I look forward to hearing back!
Best,
John

Good afternoon!
My name is Lori-Ann Miller and I am a parishioner at Saint Bridget’s Catholic Church. I am helping to spread the word about an amazing opportunity to support the East End Pregnancy Test and Help Center located in the East End of Richmond.
The pregnancy center provides prolife counseling to women as well as material assistance such as clothing, diapers, baby gear etc. The purpose of the walk is to spread the word in the community about the services the center provides. I was wondering if you could please help us spread the word to the members of the Knights of Columbus at Saint Bridget’s? Here is a link to the center’s site for more information about it: http://www.eastendpreg.org/
The following are the Walk4life details:
The East End Pregnancy Test and Help Center would like to invite you to participate in our first Walk for Life. Join us for a non-competitive 1.5 mile walk and family-friendly picnic celebration. To be held June 27th, 9:00 am, gathering at Patrick Henry Park.
For more information or to register online, please visit www.rva4life.org or contact Mary Ann Copetillo at eepcwalk4life@gmail.com, I have also attached a flyer with further details and pray that you and members of the Knights of Columbus can join us on Saturday, June 27.
Thank you in advance for your time! We hope to see you on Saturday, June 27!
God Bless,
Lori-Ann Miller

Please post for our Men's Ministry group.
Heartfelt thanks to the members of the Men's Ministry who contributed to the Walk for Life to benefit the Pregnancy Resource Center last Saturday. Carol and I raised $840 for that very great cause. Thanks again.
Here are the websites I mentioned Saturday. Please pray for the persecuted Christians in the Middle East and elsewhere. These sites all provide links to donate assistance. Thanks.

Commentary of the day :
Saint Bernard (1091-1153), Cistercian monk and doctor of the Church
Sermon 58 on the Song of Songs
Bearing fruit in abundance
I must warn each of you about his vine: for who has never cut back everything that is superfluous in himself to the point of thinking that there is nothing more to cut? Believe me, what has been cut, grows back; the vices that have been chased away return, and we see tendencies that had gone to sleep waking up again. It is therefore not enough to cut one’s vine once; rather, we have to do it again and often, and if possible, even without ceasing. For if you are sincere, you ceaselessly find in yourself something to cut… Virtue cannot grow among the vices; for virtue to develop, we must prevent the vices from increasing. So suppress what is superfluous; then the necessary will be able to spring up.
For us, Brothers, it is always the time for cutting; it is always necessary. For I am sure that we have already left winter behind us, we have left behind the fear without love, which introduces us all to wisdom, but which doesn’t let anyone grow in perfection. When love comes, it chases away that fear just as the summer chases away the winter… So may the winter rains stop, that is say, the tears of anguish that arise because of the memory of your sins and the fear of judgment… If “the winter is over” and “the rain has topped” (Song2:11)…, the sweetness of the spring of spiritual grace shows us that the time has come to cut our vine. What else is there for us to do other than to become entirely committed to this work?
Reminder. There will be and Evening of Recollection for Men this Wednesday May 6, St. Bridget Richmond.
Our next Saturday meeting will be this Saturday, May 2, 2015, 7:00am-8:00am in the Parish Meeting Room.
