Newsletter and Order of Service for the Fifth Sunday after the Epiphany

This week: the rector reflects on the recent feast of Brigid of Kildare (c. 451 – 525), abbess, foundress of several monasteries (possibly even made a bishop?), and one of the patron saints of Ireland, as well as the patron of midwives, babies, holy wells, blacksmiths, chickens, milkmaids, poets and domestic animals. Join us for the Sunday service at 11am via Zoom, after which friend of the parish Dr. Clay Williams will walk us through COVID-19 vaccines: how they work, the variety that will be in use, and the ethical issues related to distribution and vaccination of the public.
