The Committee to Save St. Brigid's Church sponsored a Parish dinner at the Fort Mason Officers' Club on Friday, November 18, 1994 at 6:30 p.m.

Sunday Masses at Fort Mason

Many St. Brigid Parishioners now attend the 11:15 a.m. Mass at the Fort Mason Chapel. We have been warmly received, and many consider this their "home away from home" until St. Brigid's Church reopens. The chapel is not under the jurisdiction of the Archdiocese of San Francisco. Some remain afterwards to visit and have brunch at the nearby Officers' Club, which is open to all. The brunch is $10.95. Everyone is invited to this Mass and brunch.

Weekly Meetings of the Committee to Save St. Brigid's Church

The Committee to Save St. Brigid's Church continues to meet each Wednesday evening at 6:30 p.m. The meetings are held at Holy Trinity Cathedral, the Russian Orthodox Church at 1520 Green Street (at Van Ness). We are composed of all who are interested in saving St. Brigid's Church, and continuing the work of Jesus Christ in the community. All are welcome. T-shirts and Sweatshirts

Save St. Brigid T-shirts are available from the Committee. The T-shirts come in two colors - light blue and cream, and are available in small, medium, large and xlarge. The cost for one is $10 or $18 for two. For more information, please call our hotline.

Financial Support

The Committee to Save St. Brigid's Church is a not-for-profit organization, tax status pending, devoted to reopening and maintaining St. Brigid as a place of worship.

While the Committee has no employees and the officers serve without compensation, our expenses are substantial. The appeal to the Supreme Tribunal of the Apostolic Signatura in Rome, is particularly expensive. Our attorney, Robert Bryan has devoted hundreds of hours to the appeals and is not paid for his work; but he must immediately associate and hire an advocate in Rome. Additionally, we continue to incur ongoing expenses regularly for such things as printing, copying, mailings, express deliveries to Rome, international telephone calls and faxes, etc.

Our expenses are met only by ongoing donations from our supporters. Your help, in any amount, will be greatly appreciated and make this effort successful. Checks should be made payable to: Committee to Save St. Brigid's Church, and mailed to P. O. Box 641318, San Francisco, CA 94164-1318.

Survey

We are interested in finding out how the closure of St. Brigid's Church has affected you. Are you currently registered at another parish? If yes, which one? Which Mass are you currently attending? Has your daily or Sunday worship been disrupted in any way? We will publish the results of this survey in an upcoming Newsletter.

Thank you for joining us in the campaign to save St. Brigid's Church. Everything we do is based upon a commitment to continue doing the work of Jesus Christ and the Roman Catholic Church in this community. Please share this newsletter with your friends and family.
