THANK YOU!
Thank you to all who have contributed to the Living Memorial Fund in memory of Mary Z. Funds donated to the LMF can only be used for permanent church furnishings such as vestments, silver, or storage for vestments and silver or refurbishing of the same.
Some of our vestments are reaching the end of their life so having this money to use in replacing them is of great benefit. By pooling the donations made in honor of several
people we are able to purchase large scale items.

BAPTISMS
If you would like a person to be baptised at St. Bride's, please contact the
church office so that we may schedule the Baptism.
The Easter Vigil is an excellent time for both adults and children to be baptised.
We must speak to the parents of children and infants before scheduling baptism.
