Saint Brigid of Kildare School students in grades K-8 will join with our parishioners to participate in our diocesan 40 Days of Adoration during the Lenten season. This initiative, started by Bishop Brennan, joins together all members of our parishes and schools in experiencing our Lord Jesus in this most profound and intimate way. Our parish and school have been assigned the dates of February 25th and March 5th. On these two days, our school students will participate in continual Eucharistic adoration from 9:30-2:40, as each pod takes a 5-20 minute turn to virtually pray in the presence of Jesus via our chapel livestream. Please join with us as we quiet ourselves and turn to prayer with our friend and Lord Jesus.

The St. Brigid of Kildare Annual Fund is the way our Home and School Committee is able to provide all the extras that make the St. Brigid experience special for our children, teachers and staff.

During Catholic Schools Week the ice cream treats, the supplies and materials for the craft for the St. Brigid Feast Day parties and the Teacher Appreciation Lunch were all made possible because of the generosity of the parents that gave to the Annual Fund.

This year, we have raised $38,020 from 193 families. Our goal is $45,000 which is what the H & S committee needs to fund their activities.

If you have not donated please consider giving to the Annual Fund so we can continue to provide the best experience for your children. Thank you to everyone that has supported this important program.

The 7th and 8th grade Power of the Pen team competed in a virtual District tournament on Saturday morning. Students had to respond to surprise prompts and write three short stories in under 40 minutes each. They competed against 19 other public and diocesan schools, and the top 50% will qualify for Regionals in March. We are in suspense while we wait to get tournament results sometime this week.

The seventh grade team included Will Davis, Paige Harper, Hayden Kiedrowski, Emily Mifsud, Maren Reville, Zachary Utt, and alternate Claire Heise.

The eighth grade team included Ava Blackburn, Marin Lynch, Elizabeth McLaughlin, Hannah Stuebe, Madeline Tinkler, and Eve Worley.

With the Apostolic Letter Patris corde (“With a Father’s Heart”), Pope Francis recalled the 150th anniversary of the declaration of St. Joseph as Patron of the Universal Church. To mark the occasion, the Holy Father proclaimed a "Year of St. Joseph" that began on December 8, 2020 and ends on December 8, 2021.

St. Joseph's feast day is on March 19. Our school will be attending virtual school Mass that day, and will also be receiving St. Joseph Holy cards.

For a short reflection and prayer video, click the link below. We will be featuring one short prayer to St. Joseph each week during Lent.
