Men's Ministry and Lenten soup dinners after Stations of the Cross
Email from Bruce S:
The Parish Council is coordinating this year’s Lenten Soup Dinners after the Stations of the Cross. Do you think the Men’s Ministry would manage a meal this year? The options are February 16, 23, and March 1, 8, and 15.
I have drafted a dinner plan for using input from last year.
If you are willing to help, please email Bruce at

Respect Life Holy Hour-January 16
Gents,
Just a reminder there will be a Respect Life Holy Hour at St. Bridget on Tuesday, January 16, beginning at 5:30 pm. Hopefully, you and your families and friends can make it to pray for a Culture of Life and as a vigil of sorts for the upcoming March for Life. If you have not already done so, please use the sign-up genius to reserve spots on the free bus transportation to the March for Life in DC this Friday. Thanks!

Upcoming Events
Email from Mike K:
Brothers,
By now you should have received the sign-up genius for the national March for Life in Washington, DC on January 19. Our work began anew after the Dobbs decision. As evidenced by the recent electoral and referendum victories of the pro-abortion forces, it is still crucial to witness to the pro-life cause at the macro level to change hearts and minds. For what it’s worth, I think the national March for Life remains an important event to build up a Culture of Life in America. As history teaches us, “evil triumphs when good men do nothing.”
Bus to National March For Life (St. Edward's, St. Bridget's, and Columbian Center on Jan 19
We will also be redoubling our efforts here in Virginia. Our General Assembly intends to begin the process this year to enshrine the “right” to an abortion in our State Constitution. Such a tragedy must be averted. The pro-life cause is a pillar of our Order. Please prayerfully consider what you can do to help.
In addition to the March, below are some more Respect Life events and a special opportunity for spiritual growth during the upcoming Lenten season:
Respect Life Holy Hour @ St Bridget Church. January 16 from 5:30-6:30 p.m. Exposition of the Blessed Sacrament, prayer, music, scripture readings, and a brief reflection from one of our Deacons. Confessions also available. If for some reason you can’t attend the March, you can help by praying for those who are. If you are going to the March, this is a great way to prepare.
February 21: Virginia Respect Life Day—Richmond Convention Center/ State Capital Rally/Walk for Life. See above.
February 24: Men’s Lenten Pilgrimage to the Shrine of the Immaculate Conception. Tour of the Shrine. Optional side trip—praying of the Rosary @ the Dominican House of Studies. Fr. Godfred is coming with us to celebrate a private Mass in the Immaculate Heart of Mary Chapel, followed by Stations of the Cross in the Cyrpt Church. Again, Confessions available. Please email me at ckoz654@aol.com to sign-up. We will be carpooling from the front parking lot of St. Bridget at 6:30 a.m. sharp.
Happy New Year,
Mike K.

Hot off the presses 📚
No particular recommendations, but this is a great small Catholic publishing house. They recover the rights to classic or out of print books and republish them. For example, old Myles Connelly novels, of which I’ve read some (and they are really good). Perhaps that was a recommendation?
