3 St. Brigid Mary of the Gael was born in the mid-fifth century, is buried at Downpatrick beside St. Patrick and St. Colmcille. Brigid built the first Irish Convent beside a giant oak tree-this place became known as the Church of the Oak (Cill Dara) or Kildare as it is known today. Brigid was the daughter of a pagan chieftain-a stubborn unbeliever. Before his death, Brigid sat by him in prayer, and whiled away the time weaving the first St. Brigid s Cross from the rushes strewn about the floor. Her father, seeing the Cross asked her to explain its meaning and was so overwhelmed, became a Christian before his death. The St. Brigid s Cross, believed to protect the home and animals from evil and want, is placed in cottages on her feast day, February 1st, the day on which she died about 524 A.D. Care for our Sisters & Brothers St. Brigid's Parish puts into practice the words of Jesus: "Whatever you do for the least of my brothers and sisters, you do for me" (Matthew 25:40). Joan Echausse is the Director of Parish Outreach ( ext 308). The Parish Outreach Office (ext. 327) is located in the lower level of the rectory (50 Post Ave). St. Brigid's Well (ext. 361) serves our sisters and brothers in the New Cassel area.

Visit our Website at Our American Community From the early Irish immigrants who founded this parish in 1850, to the arrival of people from Europe, Africa, Asia and Central and South America, each culture brings a heritage to share and particular ways to express our one faith in Jesus Christ. Some in St. Brigid s trace their roots here for several generations. Some have been here for a decade or two. Some have just arrived. A multi-cultural community is balanced when there is time and space for cultures to develop on their own, and time and space where we are all together as one -- working together, playing together and praying together. Black Catholic Community St. Brigid s has a vibrant Catholic community of members of African, Caribbean, and African American descent. This community continues to minister to our church and community. We encourage all who are interested to learn more about the rich heritage of our community and those who want to assist our parish needs, in addition to hosting cultural, spiritual, and community building events.

4 Breaking Open the Word Reflecting on next Sunday s Gospel before you come to Mass can bring so much more meaning to your experience of liturgy. Here s the gospel for next Sunday. How does this Gospel touch your life? July 6th - Fourteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time Matthew 11:25-30 At that time Jesus exclaimed: "I give praise to you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, for although you have hidden these things from the wise and the learned you have revealed them to little ones. Yes, Father, such has been your gracious will. All things have been handed over to me by my Father. No one knows the Son except the Father, and no one knows the Father except the Son and anyone to whom the Son wishes to reveal him. "Come to me, all you who labor and are burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am meek and humble of heart; and you will find rest for yourselves. For my yoke is easy, and my burden light." Gospel Reflection Questions Think of what carrying a heavy burden in your life means. Think of how humility and the acceptance of God s grace lighten your load. Think of how you let life make you weary. Think of a time when you turned a burden over to Jesus. Some Questions for Families & Children Think of a time when you had to carry several heavy things at one time. Think of a time when you shared a problem with someone and it made you feel better.. 2 Only God can give us the rest we need when we feel burndened by the trials and sorrows of life. Let us open our hearts so that we can learn from our Lord to accept the yoke that is easy for ourselves and to help relieve the burdens of others. Jesus urges us to come to Him if we are weary. If we depend solely on our own strength and knowledge, then we will never understand God s wisdom and wonderful care. For those who follow His example, he promises rest, refreshment, peace of mind and renewed energy.

5 Sunday Morning POST It s all about communication! You are so important to us and we want to keep you informed! Wanting to save money on postage and paper, it is so much easier to communicate with you electronically. So please help us keep you in the loop of what is happening at Saint Brigid. We have cards available at the entrance to the Church and the Chapel, and I will be asking you to print your name, address and information so that we can update our records. You can either drop the card in a specially marked basket at the doorway or take the card home and return it to us on your next weekend visit to Saint Brigid. Even if nothing has changed since the last time you registered, it would be good to give us your information so that we can make sure that our present records are, in fact, accurate. Summer Raffle is now underway! Soon you will be receiving a letter from me regarding this year s summer raffle. Over the years, the raffle has been a major source of income for us that enables us to meet our ministry expenses. Who knows maybe this is the year you are going to win the big prize of $2,500! Don t be so quick to shluff it off and say, Yeah, right. You never know!! And in the meantime, you are doing something awesome to assist us in the ongoing work of outreach and evangelization in our parish community. Jesus, who do you say that I am? Father Tony: FatherTony@saintbrigid.net In today s gospel, Jesus poses these two questions to Peter: Who do people say I am? Who do you say I am? Imagine, for a moment, that you are asking Jesus those same two questions: Jesus, who do people say I am? But who do you say I am? The first of those questions has to do with perception. What do people see when they see me? For the most part, we are in control of how people see us. Some of us work very hard (and perhaps have worked most of our lives) at portraying a particular type of person who is likeable, successful, competent, and well mannered. From early childhood we have spent countless hours looking into a mirror to see what others see when they see us with a fair amount of pruning and primping along the way. Controlling how others see us in any given moment can be a very consuming task. Some of us bend the truth (or outright lie) in order to protect how an individual may see or judge me. Still others of us know well how to pass the blame to others so that my own reputation may go unblemished. What do others see when they see me? Who do people say I am? These are questions that may control so much of what I do or how I behave toward others. The deeper question, however, is one that only Jesus can answer a question, I believe, He so desires to answer if we were but silent enough to receive His answer. Jesus, who do you say that I am? Who am I to you? Would we dare want to ask that question? After all, we have spent most of our lives creating a persona that is pleasing to others that we are afraid of our own unadorned nakedness before the gaze of Jesus. We are afraid of someone seeing us as a fraud, a charlatan, someone who plays at being a Christian but, when all is said and done, is nothing more than a self-serving, self-absorbed, weak and unfaithful disciple. The first self-serving, self-absorbed, weak and unfaithful disciple is Peter. But what did Jesus see when He saw Peter? He saw the Rock, the foundation, the faithful one. Saint Paul, the other half of the duo whose feast we celebrate today, saw himself as foolish, as weak, as unwise, as an opinionated persecutor of the non-orthodox. Yet, he dared to call himself chosen, and servant because he was able to receive the loving gaze of Jesus, the loving gaze of the Father, the answer that the Father yearns to offer all of us when we dare to ask the question, Who do you say I am? Take the time this week to have that heartfelt conversation with Jesus or with the Father. Allow yourself to be quiet and imagine the Father gazing upon you, the real you, the unadorned you, with great delight. Sit in that loving gaze and humbly ask the question, Lord, who do you say that I am? Pray for the openness to receive His answer. 3

9 Stt.. B Brriiggiidd//O Ouurr LLaaddyy ooff H Hooppee S Regional School OCEANOGRAPHIC FISHING TRIP The fifth, sixth, seventh graders, their teachers, and many parents and family members boarded the Yankee III charter boat for a trip into the Great South Bay. The crew tossed nets and a "dredge" into the water and pulled up an abundance of sea life from the surface and from the bottom. The children had a chance to examine the samples on the table and under the microscope. They also visited the wheel house with Capt. Roberts to see all of the high tech navigation and fish finding equipment. Capt. Roberts wasn't able to find many fish. The children caught a few fluke, but none were large enough to keep. The dads were very disappointed. As the saying goes, a fun time was had by all - except a couple of folks who got a little sea sick. It was great being together for a day of fun and learning on the water! ing c n u o Ann S T.

Paul a persécuté les chrétiens. Cependant,c est grace à sa volonté missionnaire,par ses lettres aux Eglises, qu il nous a fait découvrir le mystère de Dieu. Pierre a renié trois fois Jésus,mais c est sur profession de foi que nait l Eglise. Ils nous invitent en ce jour à reconnaitre en Jésus le Messie, le Fils du Dieu vivant et à nous ouvrir davantage à la mission universelle de l Eglise. Ils sont des modèles pour l Eglise. Nous sommes leurs héritiers: à nous, à notre tour, peuple de baptisés, peuple choisi par Dieu,de faire vivre le message jusqu aux limites du monde. Qu ils nous apprennent à gagner au Christ nos frères qui ne le connaissent pas et nous aident à donner de notre vie pour l avancée du Royaume des cieux. Bon dimanche, bonne semaine et bonne fête.

12 Parish Picnic Dear Parishioners, We are less than a month away from July 26th, the date of our parish picnic, and we are ready to announce details about obtaining tickets. We also have a general schedule of activities for the day. The schedule of the day is as follows: 9 10 AM: Initial setup 10 11:30 AM: Sports & Recreation 11:30 AM 12:30 PM: Lunch 12:30 PM: Activities begin for children, including a scavenger hunt, 3-legged races, face painting, water balloons, and table games like at our parish Marti Gras celebration. 1:30 PM: Soccer & other sports start 2 PM: Bocce game starts 3 4 PM: Shift to afternoon session 4:30 PM: Live music starts 5 PM: Volleyball starts 6-7 PM: Dinner 8-9 PM: Clean up Other events may be added at the discretion of the picnic committee. The parish will provide food for lunch and dinner, but families are welcome to bring their own as well and even to share! Our section of the park (Holly) is located near the miniature golf course. It will be open that day, however it is run by the park and requires a fee to play. Please recall that the space can only accommodate 200 people. We have published this schedule with the idea that families will get tickets for either the morning and afternoon or the evening. Tickets will be available after all Masses on July 13th, and after the 5 PM and 7 PM Masses on July 12th. To obtain a ticket we ask for either a monetary donation or a food donation (the money will be used to offset picnic costs). If making a monetary donation we ask for $10 per family, or $5 for a single person. The food donation can be any amount of food to be donated for parish outreach. It is very likely that all tickets will be reserved on the 12th and 13th. Should any tickets remain, they will be obtainable from the parish office. Please join us for this day of fun and recreation! 10 In Christ, fr. Jason
