St. Brigid Parish has lost a great friend in the death of Ralph Risimini whose dedicated service--on the Pastoral Council, on the Finance Council, and as a 4th Degree Knight of the Knights of Columbus--reminds us how much good one faithful person can accomplish in a life well lived. He will be deeply missed by family and friends at St. Brigid and St. James alike.
