Our Mission

We are the Catholic Community in Amherst, followers of Jesus Christ,

who desire to be spiritually deeply rooted in the

presence and power of God.

We are guided and empowered by the Holy Spirit,

 in service to God and trusting the traditions of the Church.

We are a multi-ethnic, multi-cultural, and multi-lingual Community that was raised by immigrants.

We seek to know our faith, to live by truth and love, to serve the needs of others, and to strengthen and inspire our Parish Family.

We welcome all to join us as we reach out in justice and love to build God's kingdom.

Welcome to

St. Brigid's Church!



Saint Brigid's is a Catholic Church in downtown Amherst, Massachusetts. We are located in a vibrant college town in the heart of

the 5-College Consortium that includes nearby Amherst College, Hampshire College, Mount Holyoke College,

Smith College, and the University of Massachusetts Amherst.

Whether you are returning to your Catholic faith, or interested in exploring Catholicism, we are glad you are here.
