The Care Committee, headed by St. Brigid parent Lisa Crowley, can provide assistance and support to members of our school community. The goal of the group is to strengthen our community, support each other through simple acts of service, and contribute to our children’s education and faith.
“If you have a need due to the birth of a baby, illness, death, change in job status, or for a reason you don’t want to share, please let one of the moderators know through email or a phone call, and we will organize help,” the group’s mission says. “If you would like to remain anonymous, let us know. We will adhere to the strictest confidentiality.”
“We have helped with meals for people who have lost loved ones and for people with a new baby at home,” reports committee member Stacey Hughes. “We have visited people in the hospital and have sent sympathy cards from the St. Brigid community. We have also provided babysitting to people who have medical appointments.”
For those who wish to help, a Yahoo group is available to join. While the committee is not an official St. Brigid School group, there are already 19 members and the ranks continue to grow.
There are two ways to help the Care Committee. The first is by simply identifying a need. If you know of someone in our school community who has experienced a loss, a job status change, illness, or some other serious life event, please bring it to the attention of the committee. Again, privacy and anonymity will be honored.
You can also join this group of caring and thoughtful individuals and offer your time and assistance. “This is also such a great way to introduce or continue teaching your children about acts of community building and caring for one another,” Mrs. Hughes says.
To contact the group with a need or to help out, email Lisa Crowley (lisacrowleyslp@gmail.com) or Stacey Hughes (staceyledoux70@yahoo.com). Those interested in joining can also subscribe to the Yahoo group at stbscarecommittee-subscribe@yahoogroups.com
