St. Bridget hosts many events throughout the year; some directly through our parish and some that are hosted here by various groups local to our parish community. Some of these events have been a part of our thriving parish life for many years and continue to make our parishioners, school, and the River Falls community feel connected. Below is a list of said events and a description of each.
• St. Bridget Parish & School Garage Sale Each year, The St. Bridget Garage Sale is hosted at the St. Bridget School gym in June and is a staple in our community. The money raised from the garage sale is distributed to the main missions of our church community. People who work at the garage sale designate the mission that they want to sponsor and, therefore, our school, church, faith formation, Knights of Columbus, women's ministry and Martha's Quilting Group all each year receive funding from this event. We also help several community ministries, such as Our Neighbors Place, Treasures, RF Food Shelf, Goodwill, etc. with donations of items after the sale.
• Community Thanksgiving Dinner On Thanksgiving Day, St. Bridget hosts the Community Thanksgiving Dinner. This is a non-denominational, free event that is run by volunteers in the community. The Thanksgiving Dinner is available for dine-in, takeout, and delivery.
• Holiday Happenings Early December is the St. Bridget Parish & School Holiday Happenings Craft Sale, hosted at the St. Bridget School gym. Vendors from all over the community sign up to have a booth at the sale, and there are treats provided by St. Bridget School. There is something for everyone at the craft fair, and the items make for fantastic Christmas gifts!
• Men's Rally for Christ Formerly known as the Knights for Dad’s Rally, the Knights of Columbus groups from the surrounding areas put on this rally each year and it is hosted by St. Bridget Catholic Church. Although it is not a St. Bridget event, it is hosted at the Church, and invites men of all faith traditions from neighboring churches to come and gather in fraternity.
• Life in the Spirit Hosted by St. Bridget Catholic Church, Life in the Spirit is put on each year in either January or February. It is a time to come together and experience the presence of the Holy Spirit through presentations, testimonies, prayer, and praise and worship.
