Dear Parents,
Friday we celebrate the feast day of Saint Brigid. The day will begin with 9:00 a.m. Mass including our favorite Saint Brigid hymns and the Irish Blessing song.
To make the feast day Mass even more special several of our students will be playing musical instruments and our choir for this Mass has prepared a special song.
Our day concludes with festive parties planned by our room parents. If you would like to learn more about the life of our Saint Brigid, EWTN Global Catholic Network will be airing a special The Story of St. Brigid of Ireland on Thursday and Friday.
Click here to learn more and see the preview of the video.
Thank you for celebrating Catholic Schools Week and the Feast of Saint Brigid with us this week!
May the blessings of St. Brigid guide you each day,
