Saint Bridget Guild is a multi-service ministry of the Saint Jerome Parish that provides support for many regional and local parish activities. The guild assists with funeral receptions, picnics, potlucks, fund raising activities, celebrations, and many other parish related functions. The guild also joins with other volunteers from local churches and communities to support outreach programs such as the annual free Christmas dinner.
Saint Bridget Guild also provides services more commonly associated with traditional altar societies such as laundering and maintenance of altar linens, assisting with liturgical decorations, church flowers, and cleaning of the church rectory.
Saint Bridget Guild is, as the original Bridgettine of Sweden Order was, open to both men and women who want to serve the needs of Saint Jerome Parish and the local community.
