CATHOLIC APPEAL We are pleased to share that St. Bridget has raised $28,344

toward our 2017 Catholic Appeal goal of $30,328. Thank you to all who have helped make our campaign a success. If you have not

had a chance to give, we need your help! Please donate today to help us reach our goal by June 30th. Pledge forms are available at the Church

exits. On behalf of Cardinal Sean and all who benefit from your generosity, thank you for your support.

Fourteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time Believing as St. Paul says, “You are in the Spirit” gives us the impetus to speak to others of the importance of Christ’s presence in our lives. Being disciples of Christ and doing the work of evangelization takes

time and energy, so we take comfort in the words Jesus speaks in today’s gospel, “Come to me all you who labor…and I will give you rest.” Once refreshed and renewed by Christ we need to resume our

task of making disciples!
