Annual Parish Events

St. Brigid Parish Festival

The St. Brigid Parish Festival, an annual three-day family and community event, will be held August 2024.  Many volunteers are needed to make it a successful event. The festival committee and volunteer group include many talented people who work hard in areas such as: grounds, adult booths, kids booths, gambling, publicity, sponsors, and more. We do serve beer in a designated area.

St. Brigid 5K Run/Walk

St. Brigid’s 5K is held annually in conjunction with the parish festival and averages 150 runners each year. All proceeds benefit the parish and St. Brigid School. Our race is attended by many runners who do the “5K circuit”, as well as many families looking to spend some active time together.
