A sincere thank you to all those that contributed to the Mission Appeal two weeks ago. We appreciate how our parishioners are always so generous when asked to donate to help our brothers and sisters in so many ways. May God bless your generous hearts!

Thank you to all who participated in our Trunk or Treat event this year! It takes a village for these events. To all who helped with set-up/take down, donated candy, or opened your trunk we thank you so very much! We couldn’t have done it without you.

Dear Parish Family,

My heart is still full of gratitude for the beautiful welcome you gave me last Sunday. I felt so much love, warmth, and genuine affection from every one of you. You didn’t simply celebrate with me—you made me feel truly welcomed, valued, and at home.

Thank you for opening your hearts to me and for making this new chapter in my priestly journey so meaningful. I am deeply grateful to God for the gift of each of you, and I am also so grateful for your generous gifts. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

May God bless you, and may God bless our parish.

Thank you to Rick and Betty Mysliwiec and their crew for the delicious breakfast you prepared. Thanks to Dan Saefke and his team for always doing a great job with set-up and take-down, we appreciate you! Thanks to the many others that helped set-up and clean-up for the event. Mary Majkozak for the beautiful centerpieces and Julie Doth for the fun “isms” at all the tables for everyone to get to know Father Marcel just a little bit better. We were blessed with a bonus when our dear Blue Nuns sang two beautiful songs for us! It was a joyous day at St. Bridget, we are grateful for all of you that joined us to celebrate.

Appreciation Letter

Fri, 28 Aug 2026 23:31:52 GMT

Dear Fr. Marcel, the Parish Priest of St Bridget, and the Entire St. Bridget Parish Community,

Greeting from Francis and the entire Ojukwu Family.

Words cannot fully express the depth of our gratitude for the incredible love, care, kindness, and unwavering support that Fr. marcel and the entire St. Bridget Parish community have shown our family. During the difficult time when Francis was in detention, you stood by us in ways we will never forget. Your prayers, sacrifices, words of encouragement, and acts of generosity gave us strength, hope, and comfort when we needed them most.

We offer our special and heartfelt thank to Fr. Marcel for his spiritual guidance, steadfast prayers, compassion, and constant support throughout this challenging journey. His fatherly care, encouragement, and faith were a source of great comfort to our family and helped us remain strong and hopeful despite the difficulties we faced.

To all the parishioners of St. Bridget, thank you for your countless prayers, sacrifices, acts of kindness, messages of support, and genuine love. Many of you prayed fervently for Francis and our family, and we firmly believe that God heard those prayers. Your generosity and faithfulness reminded us that we are part of a loving Christian family that stands together in times of trial and difficulty.

We will never forget the love you showed us, the tears you shared with us, the sacrifices you made on our behalf, and the faith that carried us through. Your support was a true reflection of Christ's love in action and we remain forever grateful.

As a family, we remain forever grateful for all that you have done for us. We pray that God, in his infinite mercy can goodness, will richly reward each one of you. My he continue to strengthen Fr. Marcel, bless your families, grant you good health, peace, joy, and prosperity. May He multiply every seed of kindness you have sown and bless all the work of your hands.

Thank you once again for being such a loving, caring, and faithful parish family. We will always remember your kindness and keep you in our prayers. May God abundantly bless Fr. Marcel, St. Bridget Parish, and every parishioner.

With heartfelt gratitude and love,

Francis and Blessing Ojukwu

Celebration!

Ice Cream Social 2026

Thu, 23 Jul 2026 23:53:21 GMT

It was cool outside, but we had a Great Time!

Thank you everyone who came to the Ice Cream Social on July 22nd. We appreciate all that helped set up, serve, clean up, or there to just enjoy the festivities. We were glad you were there! The weather was great. Good food and fellowship were enjoyed by all who attended.

We Get to Keep Him!

Thu, 23 Jul 2026 23:13:48 GMT

It was announced this past weekend that Father Marcel has left the Redemptorist order to become a diocesan priest . He came to us as our priest and then became our pastor and now we know that he is here to stay . His incardnation process was long and arduous and his life has changed dramatically. It is apparent that he has come to love Saint Bridget's and the people that God has called him to serve. We, in turn, welcome him with open arms.

We are a small community with a small leadership group but, along with our trustees and staff, I want to officially welcome Father and want him to know how fortunate we feel that he has chosen to lead us.

A HUGE and sincere thank you to Julie Doth and her liturgy committee and Rick Mysliwiec and his environment committee for the beautiful and inspiring Pentecost liturgy you planned so well and executed it seamlessly! The 8 flags that were processed in was such a visual of our Universal Church! We have received many compliments regarding Pentecost and how meaningful it was for our parish. THANK YOU!

Thank you to all who allowed us to use your personal flags for our Pentecost Mass on May 24, 2026 . It added so much to our worship recognizing we, also, are part of the universal mission of the Church.
