SAINT BRIDGET SCHOOL
Where Faith, Friendships, and Futures are Formed
"Saint Bridget School: A Catholic community that encourages love of God, respect for all, and academic excellence."
FAITH FORMATION
In addition to our rigorous Early Childhood, Elementary, and Middle School curriculum, it is our faith that is reflected in everything we do. Along with daily prayer, our religious education program includes monthly celebrations of the Sacred Liturgy, Sacramental preparation, Lenten and Advent programs, and formal classroom instruction on our faith. This comprehensive approach ensures that students of all ages grow academically and spiritually, fostering a strong foundation in both knowledge and values.
DAILY PRAYER
At Saint Bridget School, prayer is an integral part of our daily routine, fostering a strong sense of community and faith. Each day begins with a schoolwide prayer and pledge, and every school assembly or meeting opens with prayer. Students come together for group prayer at the start and end of each day, as well as before and after lunch. We also provide opportunities for students to offer special prayer intentions through classroom prayers, our prayer wall, and the parish prayer book. Many classrooms regularly pray the rosary, helping students grow in their spiritual journey. This variety of prayer practices creates meaningful connections, allowing students to reflect, support one another, and strengthen their faith.
TUESDASY TOGETHER
Our Faith Formation initiative is designed to foster spiritual growth and strengthen Catholic identity among our K-8 students. Students gather together for an informal lesson inside the church, where they learn about the fundamentals of Mass, the lives of Saints, and key aspects of Catholic identity. Led by the Pastor and Principal, this initiative focuses on liturgical events and Catholic themes, offering students a deeper understanding of their faith.
The Student Choir opens and closes each gathering with joyful music, helping to create a vibrant and uplifting atmosphere. Students leave each gathering feeling energized and inspired for the day ahead!
MASS
At Saint Bridget School, we foster a strong sense of community and faith through our monthly school liturgies for students in grades K-8. Each month, a different grade takes responsibility for the Mass, providing them with a meaningful opportunity to engage in our worship.
Monthly Liturgies
-
Gatherings: After each Mass, the hosting grade enjoys a gathering in the parish hall for parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, and other adult parishioners, creating a warm, welcoming environment.
-
Holy Day Masses: Students attend Holy Day Masses when school is in session, with classes occasionally participating in the 9:00 A.M. Mass as a group.
Special Celebrations
-
Opening Mass: We kick off the school year with a special Mass to set the tone for the year ahead.
-
Closing Mass: In June, we celebrate a closing Mass, where eighth-grade students wear their graduation gowns and enter in procession, marking this significant milestone. Graduation occurs at the conclusion of this special Mass.
-
The May Procession Mass is a beautiful and meaningful tradition, where our second-grade students, as new first communicants, honor the Blessed Virgin Mary by crowning her as our Holy Queen. The May Procession Mass is a time of celebration, reflection, and reverence, bringing together our school community in prayer and unity.
Additional Opportunities
Students are also encouraged to participate in the altar servers and children’s choir programs offered through the parish, further enriching their spiritual journey and connection to the community.
