Community Support Programs
For information on any of these groups please call the rectory.
Chauffeur
A Parishioner (CAP)
This organization is open to all those who are willing to drive a fellow
or sister parishioner to Sunday Mass who would otherwise be unable to
get to church. It involves a commitment every 8 - 10 weeks or more. Again,
"people helping people" is at the heart of this apostolate.
Parish
Welcoming Committee
The Parish Welcoming Committee is a group whose primary purpose is to
welcome new families to St. Bridget's Parish in the same spirit that Jesus
was received and welcomed into the homes of His followers. We encourage
parishioners to share in the important work of this committee: "Welcome
to St. Bridget's!"
Pastoral
Visitor Program
The Pastoral Visitor Program at St. Bridget's is composed of a group of
volunteers who visit the ill and the homebound, and afford them the opportunity
for a more frequent reception of the Eucharist. It is a multi-service
program, offering the following: (a) Befriending the elderly and the homebound;
(b) providing respite care where needed; (c) providing pastoral care to
the ill; (d) offering bereavement support. There is a training program
of six sessions in October each year, which must be attended.
