September Saturday Meeting - In Person on the Blacktop! Saturday September 12, 7:00 AM BYOCC&M (Bring your own coffee, chair and mask)!

Pray the Rosary @ Planned Parenthood Saturday Mornings @ 11:00

It has been brought to my attention that a contingent of St. Bridget folks have been praying the Rosary in front of the Planned Parenthood facility on Hamilton St. every Saturday morning at 11 am for the past two months. Since I don’t think the Rosary is being prayed after the 8:00 am Mass these days, this would be a good option. Please feel free to join fellow your fellow Catholics in these prayers for life!

Benedictine Outdoor Mass

From Mike:

For the group:  

No Outdoor Mass at Benedictine this Sunday, 8/23. The 9:00 a.m. indoor Mass will still be celebrated. 

The outdoor Mass will resume on 8/30 @ 9:15

Resurrect Third Saturday Meetings Virtually?

Email from Mike:

I know that we all enjoyed our blacktop meeting and plan to do another one in September, which is great! However, when I read the message from Dirk, I pray that I am not being selfish. Are we being selfish? In a perfect world, it would be nice if we could somehow go back to the 1st and 3rd Saturdays, “embrace the beauty of and.” 1st in-person and 3rd virtual. I can’t commit to running the Zoom for the 3rd, but I would commit to “attending.” Do you think it is worth polling the group to see if there is any interest in resurrecting the 3rd Saturday as a virtual meeting for those brethren who are laying low? Actually, given past experience, we need commitments, not just interest, to the extent possible. We could do 8 am, since it is unlikely our virtual folks would be attending Saturday Mass. Thoughts?

Please email lshadowen@aol.com if you are willing to facilitate or attend a virtual 3rd Saturday meeting.

Thanks!

A Message from Dirk

Thank you Leon; I will not be attending Saturday, although I love all of those at St. Bridgets!  I am doing well; my eyesight is now normal after corneal transplant; however, I have been laying low because of COVID-19.  A family member of my wife, in Texas, a mother of two children has COVID-19, and although she is now okay the disease is nothing to mess with, as you can imagine.  You can tell everyone that I am doing well but being extra cautious.  I watch the masses on You tube and try to keep in touch that way.    I hope to see you and the group as soon as possible. Your friend in Jesus Christ, Dirk

Once we are seated and as long as we are outside and are approximately 6' apart we do not need to wear face masks while on the blacktop. If anyone comes into the building the mask must be on the proper way. It is required when leaving as it is hard to keep 6' distance.
