HospitalityHospitalityHospitalityHospitality Throughout the year we will use this space to offer some
suggestions, some thoughts, some challenges to help us stay
focused on our goal of hospitality.
Bishop Morneau: Embracing Hospitality
Seventh step: Awake and Waiting.
In this step, Bishop Morneau chooses two parables known to nearly everyone, The Prodigal Son and The Good Sa-maritan. The father in the first parable is awake and al-ways waiting for his son. Every day watches the road, hoping to see his son coming home. I think the heart of every parent can resonate with that. He watches and waits and when he sees his son, he runs to welcome him home. In the second parable, the Samaritan could have easily walked on by just as the others had. Yet he is awake to the stirrings of compassion in his heart. He pays attention and he responds. Hospitality is watching for others who want to come back home. Perhaps, you will be the person who runs to others and welcomes them back home. Per-haps you will be the one who sees another member of St. Brigid of Kildare suffering and in need of help. Be awake to the stirrings of compassion in your heart. Watch for the opportunities to welcome, to heal, to forgive—these are all keys to hospitality. Stay AWAKE and PRACTICE WAITING this week.

How we want to die represents the most important and costly conversation America isn’t having. We are inviting you to dinner so we can talk about death and decisions surrounding death. Msgr. Hendricks, Dr. Tim Coss and attorney Mike Zaino will offer some insights from the faith perspective, the medical perspective and the legal perspective to help answer any questions you might have. End of life decisions are challenging and it is helpful to you and to those you love if you make those decisions ahead of time. --Sister Teresa Tuite, OP

ONLY 227 days before Lent 2017
To add to our 10,000 HOUR LENTEN PRAYER CHALENGE and Operation Rice Bowl we are adding a new Station: Lent Madness. It will be an easy way to encourage prayer by learning more about some of the saints and a few other really good people in our religious treas-ury.
There is a Saintly Scorecard, an annual publication containing all 32 first round bios, information about the 32 saints, and lots of information about Lent Madness. Those who wish to be part of the Parish Pool would fill out the registration form, pay $5.00, and submit a completed bracket no later than February 21, 2017. You can also have your own pool or just do it for the en-joyment of learning more about some of the great ones in our faith tradition. The Saintly Scorecard booklet comes out in January, 2017 and will be made available.
You may want to get a little ahead of the crowd by prereg-istering at the MINISTRY WEEKEND. You will be able to pay your $5.00 for the pool and preorder the Saintly
Scorecard booklet for $1.00 during Ministry Weekend. Come to the Adult Faith Formation Table and we will have information and preregistration forms available. Save the bulletins because over the next few weeks more information will be available and it will be cumulative. – Sr. Teresa Tuite, OP

We have been collecting glasses at St. Brigid for two years for Vision Health In-ternational. The response from parishion-ers has been wonderful. We have collect-
ed hundreds of glasses that have been put to good use all over Latin and South America. However, Vision Health In-ternational now has a way of making proper prescription glasses on site wherever they may be in the world. There-fore, they no longer need prescription glasses. We have stopped collecting glasses. The Lion’s Club will continue to collect glasses at the Hilliard Library at 4772 Cemetery Road. Thank you for all of your contribu-tions. Phil & Jean Vanic
