House of Brigid

House of Brigid We invite recent college graduates to live as a lay community for one year, dedicating themselves to the service of the Catholic Church in Ireland.

The ministry of the Teach Bhríde community includes, but is not limited to the following:

Liturgical planning, accompaniment, and direction of choirs;

Catechetical and liturgical support at primary schools including “Class Masses” and
Sacramental preparation;

Coordinators of Confirmation retreats for many schools in the diocese;

Diocesan music workshops, as well as being part of the diocesan liturgy group;

Occasional appearances in the Christian Media Trust’s programming on Southeast Radio;

The group also travels occasionally to other locations within the dioceses and beyond to offer retreats and workshops. Teach Bhríde is also committed to allowing its members a year of personal and spiritual growth. This is achieved by individual and communal prayer, spiritual direction, and experience of the Irish way of life.

“And the most rewarding part of it is how lucky and blessed I am that the three who are here with me are the best three I could have hoped for. It’s truly a great thing when you can forget how much you miss home for a little while because you’re surrounded by laughter and liveliness. We’re blessed to have each other, and we’re blessed to live within a few hours of each other when we all land back in Connecticut, Massachusetts, and Pennsylvania (x2).

I remain forever thankful to my House of Brigid fellows, to Father Gary, to Father Mark, and especially to Katherine and Dominique, who have led us through the year with so much love and guidance, through all the changes and ups and downs. Their leadership makes this experience possible. 

It’s been a pleasure and an honor for the last ten months, can’t wait to see what the next group has in store!”

“As my time here quickly ends, I wanted to wrap up my final blog post by saying my general gratitudes of my experience while here in Dublin from September into the beginning of July. I am grateful for the ability to walk and hike and utilize my healthy body to see wonderful parts of Ireland, seeing and visiting some stunning countries throughout all of the seasons, the friendships I have formed since being here with my roommates, the wonderful house we lived in and all of the memories built there, Whatsapp, friends that visited, singing in a choir again, Dunnes, Lidl, a grocery cart, my backpack that got me through every Ryanair flight without being measured, my headphones, the staff that I work with here at Newman University Church, spice bags, Zara, my phone camera, and most of all I am grateful for my path that led me to being here in Ireland for nearly a year. I wouldn’t change a thing about it. It truly was perfect.”

“The Camino is a way for many, but the choice to do House of Brigid is part of the way for me, personally. As I approach the end of this program, I can look back to see many instances of personal growth in the face of daily uncertainty, and I am coming out the other side better than when I got here more than eight months ago. In my reading of this Gospel and in researching the Camino de Santiago, I see that the way is everywhere. There are experiences I am having here that mirror the feelings of the apostles and the pilgrims on the way. There will always be uncertainty in the plan, but what I will gain from the journey is something I need. Leaving my family and career to move across the world for a year was not easy, and the journey will only continue after I leave Ireland. I hope to return to teaching after the program concludes, and continue my adventures, no matter the uncertainty, will not stop.”

“The people became a crucial part of my adjustment and my love for this program. My fellow community members were a constant source of laughter over the smallest things—sometimes without even knowing why we were laughing. The NDNC staff offered steady guidance and warmth to four girls who had no idea what the next ten months would hold. The parish community was equally welcoming, always making an effort to learn about our lives and to share parts of their own.”
