For the past several years St. Brigid's has celebrated Bambinelli Sunday.  Bambinelli is the Italian word for little baby.  On the third Sunday of Advent, the Pope invites the children of Rome to come to St. Peter's Square with the baby Jesus figure from their home Nativity scene for a special blessing.  

This year the blessing will take place on Saturday, December 12 in the school parking lot between 12 and 2 pm.  Your Bambinelli figure will be blessed from the safety of your car.  

Please take a look at this information from the Parish website: https://saintbrigid.net/home/current-parish-news/1848-coming-soon-bambinelli-saturday
