Prior to her current position, Brigit worked for the Catholic Family Center and edited its newsletter, Salt & Light. Brigit is the inspiration behind many of the petition drives we've conducted along with parishes throughout the diocese.

Thursday, April 10 at St. Columba/St. Patrick: Mark Robbins, deacon and Catholic Relief Services global speaker. Deacon Mark has traveled to Haiti with CRS, and Haiti is one of the Lent 2014 CRS Rice Bowl focus countries.

Each evening will begin at 6pm with a simple soup supper, followed by prayer and the talk.  Free will donation will go to help end hunger.
