Holiday Bazaar

The St. Brigid Holiday Bazaar is held annually on the first Saturday of November from 9am to 3pm in the Parish Activity Center and school lunchroom. It features vendors selling handmade crafts and holiday décor as well as delicious, fresh baked goods donated by parishioners. A raffle is held with holiday items and gift baskets as prizes, and a silent auction also takes place comprised of theme gift baskets which contain items donated by the St. Brigid School families. In the school lunchroom, you can explore “Santa’s Attic” – a flea market with plenty of vintage and gently used Christmas decorations and gifts for the whole family. Hot lunch is served throughout the day.
