St. Brigid Prayer Chain Praying is one of the most ancient of human practices. Prayer is used in a multitude of ways: to seek comfort, make a request, ask for guidance, heal and restore, express sorrow, celebrate joy or give thanks. A prayer chain kicks it up several levels, because it is a group of individuals who’ve decided to pray together. This theoretically amplifies the power of prayer. Praying as a group also fulfills another of our basic human needs: to connect, both with a power greater than ourselves and with one another. Members of the St. Brigid of Kildare prayer chain receive e-mails regarding specific intentions which parishioners have asked to have remembered in prayer. Prayer requests can be made by contacting the parish office at 614-761-3734 and leaving a message, or by emailing kcremeans@ stbri idofkildare.or . If you wish to become a “pray-er,” please contact the parish office. www.stbrigidofkildare.org June 20 , 2021 View this bulletin online at www.DiscoverMass.com St. Brigid of Kildare Church

Pierre Toussaint was born into slavery in 1766 in the French colony of Saint Domingue, which today is Haiti. Pierre first worked as a house slave on a plantation owned by Jean Bérard in Saint Domingue. His master taught him to read and write which was very unusual at the time.

In 1797 the colony was experiencing great turmoil and violence and the Bérard family fled to New York. Jean Bérard thought that they would sit out the revolution in New York and then return with his family and slaves to Saint Domingue. However, the situation worsened and the revolution occurred in 1804 ending with freedom for the French colony. As a result, the Bérard family lost its fortune and soon after Jean Bérard died of pleurisy. While in New York Pierre was permitted to train as a hairdresser and earn his own money. After his master’s death, Pierre very generously supported himself, Jean Bérard’s widow, his sister and the other slaves by fixing hair of the wealthy. His talent and style but especially his caring personality enabled him to form deep, long lasting relationships with many of his clients. In fact, he would evangelize and speak about God to them while they sat in the chair to have their hair styled. Months before her death in 1807, Marie Elisabeth Bérard granted Pierre his freedom. He was 41 years old. Four years later, Pierre Toussaint married Marie Rose Juliette, whose freedom he purchased. The couple later adopted Euphémie, his orphaned neice.

He is credited by many with being the father of Catholic Charities in New York. Pierre was instrumental in raising funds for the first Catholic orphanage and began the city’s first school for black children. He also helped to provide funds for the Oblate Sisters of Providence, a religious community of black nuns founded in Baltimore. During a Yellow Fever epidemic when many of the city’s political leaders fled the city in search of healthier rural climates, Pierre Toussaint cared for the sick and the dying. He was a successful entrepreneur, who did not hesitate to share the fruits of his labor with others.

One day a friend questioned Pierre, “Toussaint, why do you work so hard, you are the richest man I know? He answered, “I have enough for myself, but if I stop working, I will not have enough for others.”

In addition to helping others, Pierre gave money to help finance the construction of the original St. Patrick Cathedral on Mulberry Street in New York City. On the day that the cathedral was dedicated, Pierre went to the church for the celebration but was promptly turned away by an usher because he was black. Pierre, who had paid for much of the cathedral, apologized and turned to leave, but another usher recognized him and immediately took him to the seat of honor.

Pierre Toussaint died on June 30, 1853 at the age of 87. He was well-known for his kindness, generosity, charity and love of God. He was buried in the cemetery of the cathedral. However, in 1990 Cardinal John O’Connor, Archbishop of New York, had his remains moved to the crypt under the high altar in St. Patrick Cathedral on 5th Avenue in New York City where only cardinals and archbishops are buried. Pierre is the only lay person to be so honored by being buried there. Pierre Toussaint was declared Venerable in 1996.
