Next Confirmation Lesson
October 20th at 3:30pm in Church Hall
We will be meeting for a large group Confirmation Lesson this weekend!
Confirmation Small Groups Teacher/Hosts
Small Groups will meet four times between now and Confirmation.

What is holding us up?
We are looking for host homes (primarily) and another teacher or two who meet the safe environment guidelines. Each small group requires two unrelated adults (one teacher, one host). These two adults must be Background Screened and Virtus Trained. A special training workshop will be offered for whoever needs it.

Teachers
The following adults are interested in teaching Conf. Small Groups:
  • Frank DeVenoge: Daughter in the program (Gigi).
  • Pierre Morel: Daughter in the program (Caroline).
  • Brendan Mahoney: Youth Group Volunteer
  • Anne Schueneman: Son in the program (Fred).
  • John Minnich: Young Adult Volunteer (former seminarian).
  • Needed: We can use at least one more teacher for each gender.

Hosts
We are in need of Virtus trained adults who can host groups in their homes.
  • Groups can also meet at the teacher's home, but a second virtus trained adult must be present.
  • Groups are also welcome to meet at Saint Bridget, a Coffee Shop, etc. two adults are still required.
Christmas Sharing Volunteer Signup
Much of what has occupied my time lately has been getting the back end organized for the Confirmation service project, Christmas Sharing. We will provide Christmas Gifts for about 100 families this year.

Adults, I do need some help in organizing and executing this program, but I need you to be Virtus Trained to interact with the teens.

Teens You will sign up to make the card adoption and gift collection happen. Click the button below.
Youth Group & Home Study
Large Youth Group meets 1st and 2nd Sundays from 6-8pm and has been off to an awesome start. This is part of your Confirmation formation and we want all the teens here. Heck, bring your friends. Even the atheists. It's the most fun if everyone is here.

At Home Study meets at your own homes between parents and teens. If you haven't picked up your workbooks, I have them ready for you! You can swing by the Church Office to grab them any time.
Nov. 3: National Speaker, Joe Farris
Coming to Saint Bridget on Nov. 3rd is Nationally recognized speaker, Joe Farris. He'll be giving a talk after 5pm Mass and 6pm Dinner, all ages are welcome to this inspirational night of preaching, teaching, and prayer! Joe is engaging, funny, and a gifted presenter. The youth Group will be attending this event, families are encouraged to attend. Dinner will be served!

One of our new youth ministry volunteers, Ry Bristow, got married this month! His bride, Amanda is moving to Richmond and we are excited to welcome both of them to Saint Bridget! Ry does IT work for Capital One, was a staff member for CHWC, and is a musician. He and Amanda graduated from Clemson University.
St. Francis Trivia & Egg Roulette
YOUTH GROUP: Madison and new adult volunteer, Cameron, laugh playing a trivia game where if you get the question wrong, you break an egg on your head. Some eggs were hard boiled, some were definitely raw. It was eggcelent. Thanks Saint Francis for being awesome!
Please pray for our teens, families, and volunteers. There is a lot to be thankful for, and a lot that needs to be covered in prayer.
Thank you & God Bless
