There will be no Wednesday healing service this week.
In Person Worship

Alleluia, Christ is Risen!

You can now reserve a pew for in person worship directly on the parish website. Simply click the banner at the top of the homepage and then follow the directions on the reservation page.

Reservations are open until Thursday at midnight. If you are on the wait-list, someone will contact you on Friday to let you know if a seat is available for you.

Reservations are first come , first served, but please try to give everyone a chance to attend Mass at least once a month. 

The Reopening committee and the Vestry have worked hard to create a safe environment for all who attend worship in person. I look forward to seeing you all at some point, as you feel comfortable to attend in person worship.

Blessings to you all

Good News from the McKees

We are excited to announce that our son, Brendan McKee, is a 2021 spring graduate of the University of Florida, Herbert Wertheim College of Engineering with a B.S. in Chemical Engineering. Brendan was a BRHS 2016 graduate and winner of the Foresters Competitive Scholarship program. At University of Florida, Brendan published research in the Journal of Microscopy and completed a research co-op with J&J’s Ethicon labs. Brendan has accepted an offer to do his PhD at Texas A&M in Biomedical Engineering where he will continue his research in mechanobiology at the MD Anderson Cancer Center. We are incredibly grateful to all the folks at BRHS, J&J, and Ethicon who have supported him in this journey, and for the wonderful support of the St. Martins community.
