Youth Ministry Information
"To grow in the knowledge of God" is the first aspect of our parish's mission, one that is central to our parish life.

As one of the many ministries of the Church, Youth Ministry empowers our young people to work for justice and service grounded in our belief in Jesus Christ and to offer themselves as a group of people transformed by the Holy Spirit in a community of faith, hope, and love. The Youth of St. Bridget's strive to achieve these goals through:

Community Outreach, helping the less fortunate in our community;

Social Activities, interaction and meaningful participation in civic and community life;

Christian Formation, fostering our Catholic Christian identity, and developing a personal faith life;

Liturgy, actively proclaiming the Gospel in Word and Sacrament, and becoming fully integrated into parish life.

Youth Liturgy Opportunities
-Youth liturgies are Sunday evenings at 5:00 p.m. If you are interested in being a lector or greeter for these liturgies, please contact Teresa Lee at tlee@stbridgets.org.

-Youth Choir: We provide the music for youth liturgies. If you play a musical instrument or would like to sing in the Youth Choir, call Mike Casey at 741-7626.

-Eucharistic Ministers: We also need Eucharistic minsters for our liturgies. If you are in the eleventh or twelfth grade, and have been confirmed, consider participating. Contact Teresa Lee if you are interested.

Christian Education Committee
The Christian Education Committee is charged by the Pastoral Council with the parish's total educational mission. Meetings are held once a month and are open to all parishioners. We need your ideas and expertise.

Christians Formation Catechists, Aides, and Substitutes
Catechists plan and teach weekly or monthly lessons during the school year. Aides support the catechists and assist the children. Both catechists and aides attend catechist meetings periodically and communicate with parents. Teaching experience is helpful but not necessary. Training, resources, and encouragement are provided. (Substitutes are needed on a consistent basis.)
