Welcome Home Francis!

Thu, 18 Jun 2026 13:33:14 GMT

As Father Marcel shared last week, we "witnessed" a miracle at St. Bridget's !! Welcome home, Francis Ojukwu! As you know, Francis was detained for almost 6 months in New Mexico . He is now back home with his wife and two young sons. God answered our many prayers and we are so very grateful that our parishioner Francis is home and back at St. Bridget's! Thank you to our dear parishioners and the many others that kept Francis and his family in their prayers.

Watch for details on a welcome home celebration hosted by St. Bridget's.
