The Parish is a lively and friendly community with a number of active groups:
RESOURCE CENTRE
The Resource Centre offers a service to parishioners where cards and gifts for religious occasions can be purchased. Among the items in stock are greeting cards for Baptism, First Communion, Confirmation etc, inspirational plaques and bookmarks, rosaries, bibles and missals.
CRAFT GROUP
The Craft Group meets in the narthex after the 9am mass on Fridays. Great friendships are formed in a very supportive environment. Craft ideas are shared as are stories of our lives’ ups and downs.
AFTER MASS COFFEE
After Mass on the first Sunday of each month parishioners are invited to linger for a while and meet fellow parishioners over a cup of tea or coffee. It is an ideal way of making new friends in the parish community
INTERCHURCH RELATIONS
St Bridgets Parish is represented in the North Balwyn Inter-Church Council. Meetings are held quarterly.
WOMEN’S DISCUSSION GROUP
Meets on the fourth Thursday of the month. Details are notified in the parish bulletin and News at right. The group’s objective is to learn and share through discussions on topics related to family life.
PARISH LIBRARY
The library is situated in the conference room off the narthex and offers a wide range of reading material.
PLAYGROUP
The Playgroup meets Tuesdays at 9.30am in the church hall for story time, free play, craft, songs and rhymes for children aged 6 weeks to 5 years. Carers share morning tea and interact with other carers offering support.
