The Community of St. Bridget
Meaningful liturgical worship is the foremost ministry of our faith community. Each liturgy is an inclusive catholic experience. This means our prayers, songs, and preaching use inclusive language. Our theology is creation-centered and based on the belief that we are an original blessing; there is no atonement theology. Members come together to create the liturgy – from planning, drafting, and editing to full participation, creating authentic liturgical prayer and sharing in the sacred space among us.
​
Ministries of the Community of St. Bridget reflect the charisms of Bridget of Kildare: hospitality, reverence for nature, healing, kindness, and gender equality. We seek the Divine Feminine through gatherings for dreamwork and discussion/prayer around topics including antiracism, the natural world, and Christian feminism. We seek healing through ministry to women, our LGBTQIA+ siblings, and the poor.
There’s room for everyone under the mantel of St. Bridget.
What are we supposed to do with dreams?
Could DREAMS be yet another way that Divine Mystery whispers to us…shouts to us…loves us? Could it be that there is yet another sacrament—a way to encounter the Living God?
Natural Dreamwork is one way to explore the richness that dreams bring. It is a process that assists dreamers in bringing to life the images, characters, and feelings in dreams.
Learn more about how contemplating dreams can become a spiritual practice, email Donna at donnmazz@gmail.com or visit donnamazzola.com. No fees are charged for these gatherings.
Donna Mazzola is a certified practitioner of both Natural Dreamwork and Projective Dreamwork. She is a passionate advocate for the potency of dreams and their ability to transform one’s waking life experience.
Mantle of Wisdom
In the Mantle of Wisdom, we offer support, seeking a greater depth of understanding of our faith, the times we live in, and the Gospel call to love one another.
The Mantle of Wisdom is a reference to the blessed cloak of St. Bridget of Kildare. We gather “under this mantle,” seeking the guidance of the Divine Feminine during our time together.

A Ministry of Compassion
​
Not all women who have procured an abortion have negative residual effects from their experience. But for those who do, for any woman who is experiencing lingering effects – no matter how long it has been – this ministry is offered for YOU.
​
Contrary to other post abortion ministries you may have encountered, you will not be asked to seek forgiveness, nor will guilt trips be laid upon you. You will be embraced with love and compassion so that you may discover your potential to live freely and enjoy the wholeness of your being.
