Youth and Family Organizations
For information on any of these groups please call the
rectory.
Family
Mass
The Family Mass is held each Sunday during the school year at 9:00 AM
in the lower church. It provides the youngsters of the parish with age-appropriate
catechesis and aims to serve the needs of younger parishioners with a
"Children's Weekly Bulletin", along with special seasonal, liturgical
and sacramental celebrations. The Children's Choir performs each week
and enhances our prayer during the May Procession on Mother's Day and
our Family Mass Christmas Pageant. A bimonthly newsletter "Saint Bridget's
Family Ties" is also available to all families. Each week during the Family
Mass, one of St. Bridget's families participates as the 'host family'
and takes an active part in the Mass. The presence of the 'host family'
at the Mass shows how the development of Faith is a family priority. Your
participation shows your commitment to the values and virtues which you
uphold as a family. Masswatch (Daycare) for restless toddlers is available
in the school during the Family Mass.

Youth Organization (CYO)
The CYO is a national organization which offers opportunities for spiritual,
social, academic, and athletic growth to its members. Our parish offers
a Jr. CYO Program (grades 6, 7, & 8) and a High School CYO Program (grades
9 through 12). The continuous goal of the CYO is to elicit a strong religious
commitment from its members to the gospel of Jesus Christ. Activities
are geared age appropriate which include some coordinated with the Archdiocese
of Boston.
Vacation

Vacation Bible School is held the first week in August for preschoolers
and students through Grade 6. It is an exciting, fun-filled, Bible-based
program which includes the following: Bible songs, arts and crafts, dramatic
