Dear Parents,
Jesus offers His healing to all just as he offered it to the blind beggar, Bartimaeus. It was Bartimaeus’ faith that c caused Jesus to heal him! Faith can both heal and allow us to “see” things in a new way.

Attention Student Singers!
You are invited!!! Fr. Andy has requested that the youth of St. Bridget form a student choir to sing at one mass a month and on special occasions.
Rehearsals will be held at convenient times to be announced. Our first liturgy together will be the 9:00
mass in the church Sunday, Oct.25th. Coffee and doughnuts to follow. Schedules permitting, we would like the student
choir to come the last Sunday of each month. Singers of all skill levels are welcome. We will
meet you where you are musically! Ages 12 and up. In order to participate you must call or email to let
me know you are interested. I am very excited to sing with you!
Kindly,
Ms. Sarah Blackwell
