See the Light, Be the Light: Continuing the Legacy

Thank you for supporting our See the Light, Be the Light: Continuing the Legacy campaign at St. Bridget Catholic Church! The results of the campaign confirm our commitment as a community and our desire to continue our mission. Your support through your prayers and financial gifts are greatly appreciated. I am grateful to each of you for your participation and support. This campaign is about the future of our parish and our families. As we continue our journey of Faith, let us always depend on each other, in Christ.

May the Lord’s blessing be on you and your family.

Sincerely in Christ,

We've reached a major milestone!

While the active phase of St. Bridget's See the Light, Be the Light: Continuing the Legacy capital campaign has concluded, the efforts of our parishioners have not gone unnoticed! As of July 30, we have received $401,540 with 68 pledges. So far, we have received $162,490 in pledge collections!

Through your faithful generosity, we are able to continue to do God’s work and carry out the mission of our parish. Thank you for your response and prayers for the work we are doing! Some of you may still be praying about your decision to give and the appropriate gift level for you and your family. We know this can be a difficult process. Please know we can accept additional gifts and pledges at any time! Everything collected over our original goal will be put aside for the future interior work of our church!
