Help with Coffee and Donut Hour!

May is PREPARES Baby Drive!!! In May, we honor the Blessed Mother and celebrate Mother’s Day! Our four-parish church family is doing just that with our May Baby Drive to restock the PREPARES headquarters Baby Boutique at St. Edwards and the Christ the King baby closet. Our most needed items are: baby wipes; diapers sizes 5,6,7; clothing sizes 18 mo. To 5T. Other diaper sizes and clothing sizes are always needed as well. Also, diaper bag backpacks are appreciated by new moms. We are unable to accept car baby seats. All four parishes will have PREPARES donation sites in the parish narthex. Our wonderful PREPARES volunteers will deliver the donations to the baby closets. PREPARES in our state just celebrated 10 years of ministry! PREPARES has grown to 197 parishes assisting parents in need during pregnancy and the first five years of their children’s lives. None of this would be possible without the generous donations of parishes like ours. Please join us in May by supporting this pro-life, pro-family organization with your contributions to our baby closets. For questions about our Baby Drive or to volunteer, please contact: St. Bridget: Judy Curran, [email protected]; Mary Jo Gasparich, [email protected] Assumption: Stephanie Read, [email protected] Our Lady of the Lake: Mary Margaret Brown: [email protected] St. Catherine: Katie Fleming, [email protected]

Exciting news for our parish and the Laurelhurst community: Seattle’s Finest Patrol Company will launch a new neighbor-sponsored security patrol in the neighborhood. St. Bridget’s parking lot will serve as the designated home base for their vehicles. This partnership will add an added layer of safety to our parish grounds, ensuring a more secure environment for all who visit. Seattle’s Finest is a well-respected patrol service staffed by retired police officers. Its presence will provide visible, professional security throughout the neighborhood, deterring crime and promoting peace of mind. Importantly, the company is not affiliated with ICE or any border enforcement agencies; its sole focus is on community safety. With the patrol operating in close proximity to St. Bridget’s, we can expect increased vigilance around our church property, adding an extra level of protection for parishioners, staff, and visitors. We welcome this development as a positive step in maintaining a safe and welcoming space for all. If you would like to learn more about the security patrol or sign up for the service, please click HERE.
