Pancakes and Palms is a St. Brigids tradition on Palm Sunday. The Forge plans to bring that tradition back. We’ll be looking for volunteers and a small planning group to figure out how to bring this celebratory event to the full community of St. Brigids and Newman Center.

Many hands makes light work and so the men of the parish convene periodically in the St Brigid’s parish center, and participate in cleanup of the interior and exterior of the Church and adjacent buildings. If you wish to volunteer contact us or just plan to come to come at 6:00PM.

Fridays during Lent we are called to Fast in remembrance of Christ’s suffering for our sins. In remembrance, we will pray the stations of the Cross at Newman Center (3PM in English), and St. Brigid’s Church (6PM in Spanish). Men of the Forge will prepare soup (no meat) for those who wish to have a light meal on these Friday’s during lent. Soup will be served at St. Brigid’s Parish Center from 5PM through 6:30PM.

Mark McMenamin will share his personal faith journey that began in 1975 with his uncle handing him a controversial book (Teilhard's Phenomenon of Man). From there, Mark went from being a mostly clueless cradle Catholic to being a reasonably well-informed mature Catholic, then on to an invitation from Jesuits to speak at the 2005 Cosmos and Creation conference, then on to the present day.
