2018 CATHOLIC APPEAL

Thank you to all who have already pledged their support. St. Bridget Parish has raised $20,194 toward our 2018

Catholic Appeal goal of $29,985. We are at 67% of our goal. We have $9790 left to go. Pledge forms are

available in the back of the church. Please take one home and put it in the collection basket at Mass.

Third Sunday of Easter Jesus asks the disciples in today’s gospel, and he asks us,

"Why are you troubled?” We may want to respond, “Don’t you see the terrible things happening in our world?” Jesus responds to his disciples of every age, that suffering and hardship did not destroy him, nor will it destroy us. That

means that as his disciples, we are not meant to stay in the upper room – that place of fear and confusion. Rather Jesus sends his disciples out into the world. Take with you today

the message of Easter joy, the message that is for all people.
