Serve at Mass
Do you feel called to serve at Mass perhaps as a Eucharistic Minister, usher/greeter, altar server, lector, musician, or at the coffee cart?
Work with Kids and Teens
Do you like working with kids and teens? Help by providing childcare at various events, working with kids during the Sunday 9 am Mass, during the school year in our GIFT program, or one week in the summer at VBS. Work with teens by helping with confirmation prep or youth group?
Work with Seniors
Do you like working with seniors at parish events such as our monthly senior luncheon. What about taking the Eucharist, making phone calls or sending greeting cards to our homebound parishioners?
Pray for Others
Do you feel called to spend a holy hour in adoration each Thursday, or monthly at nightWATCH? What about joining the intercessory prayer team and praying for those who provide us their prayer intentions?
Hospitality at Parish Events
Do you like to plan, organize, or help at parish events? Perhaps you like being on the planning committee, or maybe you prefer to just help out during the event with set-up, hospitality, or clean-up.
Neighbors in Need
Food Pantry
Serving our local community right here in PB,
Neighbors in Need provides a warm, home-cooked meal to over 100 people 2x/month on the 2nd and 4th Monday evenings. Our
Food Pantry packs, delivers, and/or distributes food weekly on Tuesday mornings.
Compass Station
One block away is The Compass Station a place where those experiencing homelessness can do laundry, charge a device, and use the computers. However, the main purpose is to connect people to services and resource providers that can help as they journey off of the street.
Saint Brigid parishioners share their time and talents with guests in a variety of ways.
Our parish is partnering with Compass Station this Christmas-see the giving tree in the vestibule of the Church for gift ideas from their Amazon wishlist.
Million Meals Event
Save the Date: June 8-9, 2024
We at St. B's have supported Casa de los Pobres in Tijuana for many years, most recently by joining with 3,000 people from around the diocese to package over one million meals via the Million Meals Event, held each June. We also support Casa by donating Halloween candy and dental supplies for the Christmas giveaway.
Friends and Helpers of Madre Bernice "Equador Mission"
FHMB was started by two of our parishioners, Betty Matteson and Katie Brown, who in 2003 travelled to Ecuador as pilgrims. Over the years they continued to visit Ecuador and established their non-profit organization in 2006. Their mission is inspired by the teaching of Jesus and call to have a preferential love of the poor. Each spring, as part of their main fundraising efforts, they host a fun pasta dinner.
“"If I therefore, the master and the teacher, have washed your feet, you ought to wash one another's feet. I have given you a model to follow so that as I have done for you, you should also do. -John 13:14-15
