Our Knights of Columbus will host a Silver Rose Prayer Service at St Brendan in the church on Monday, July 14. Every year, eight silver roses make an international journey across the USA, Canada and Mexico. At each stop, and through the veneration of Our Lady of Guadalupe, we gather to pray for the sanctity and protection of all human life. Join us July 14 at 6 PM (after 5:30 PM Mass) for the Silver Rose Prayer Service. Let's turn to our Blessed Mother and reaffirm our stance against the Culture of Death that grips our society.

Join our float for our 3rd annual Independence Day Parade appearance!
The Hilliard parade on July 4 begins at the Franklin County Fair Grounds. Staging will be from 6:30-8 AM (no need to arrive by 6:30 – parade starts at 9 AM). This is an opportunity to have fun, show your St Brendan spirit, and reach out to those who might have fallen away from the Church or are looking for a church for themselves and their family. To walk with us, visit https://forms.gle/bacBYy177ZkGHB356 and sign up yourself, your ministry or family. If unable to walk with us, please cheer us on from the sidewalk and pray for all those we will meet along the way. Questions? Contact Keith Bray at braykeith@gmail.com
Please also consider bringing some non-perishable food donations to the parade which will be collected by some St Brendan students along the parade route (shortly before the parade begins).
St Brendan's Facility Team hours will be 6 AM-6 PM beginning on June 2. The church remains open for evening Mass, Adoration, scheduled meetings and other parish events. The doors are locked after 6 PM only if there are no evening events scheduled.
