St. Brigid's Church

About this church

St. Brigid’s Church is a Roman Catholic parish in downtown Amherst whose worship life is closely connected with the Newman Catholic Center. Alongside Mass and the sacraments, the parish supports music, outreach, prayer, adult formation, and religious education. Its children’s program includes Catechesis of the Good Shepherd for ages three through six and academic-year classes for grades three through eight and First Communion students.

Saturday Vigil Mass begins at 4:30 p.m. Sunday Masses are at 8:00 a.m., 10:30 at the Newman Center, 12:30 p.m. in Spanish, and 7:00 p.m. at Newman during the academic year. Weekday options include 8:00 a.m. Monday through Thursday; Newman also hosts 5:30 p.m. Mass Monday through Wednesday during the academic year, Friday at 12:15 p.m., and Saturday at 9:00 a.m. Confession is Saturday 3:30–4:00, while Thursday Adoration runs 8:00 a.m.–5:00 p.m. Children’s formation meets Sunday 9:00–10:00 from September through May. Public pages do not explain parking, accessibility, nursery care, Mass length, child check-in, or which liturgies stream, so first-time visitors should distinguish the church from Newman locations when planning.
