What to Expect

Whether you’re new to faith, new to Catholicism, or new to the area, it’s nice to know what to expect when you go to a church for the first time. Mass at St. Bridget is a lively affair, filled with people of all ages and walks of life worshipping God with words and patterns that have been passed down over 2000 years.

On weekends, organ and choir music is provided at our Saturday Vigil Mass (5:30pm) and our 9:00am Sunday Mass. Our 12:00pm Mass has less music. Mass tends to be about an hour long.

Of the three Masses, our Sunday 9:00am mass is usually the fullest. If you are new to the church, we recommend coming at least 15 minutes early to be able to find a comfortable seat. We also have overflow seating in the narthex, if needed. Our parking lot is large and usually sufficient, but latecomers may need to park on the grass.

Accessibility

Both our church and Hobert Hall are handicap accessible with ADA bathrooms. Handicap parking places are also marked near both buildings. For those with hearing loss, we have Assisted Listening Devices available for those with and without hearing aids. Please contact the parish office to find out more.
