Brigid's Place
Brigid's Place is a 501(c)(3) Tax-Exempt Non-Profit Organization that supports the development of women in mind, body and spirit. It is named for St. Brigid, a fifth-century Irish Celtic saint who founded a monastery of nuns and monks based on the social concept of equality between men and women. The religious in this monastery were known for their wisdom and compassion, their hospitality and healing.
The purpose of Brigid's Place is to promote ecumenical relationships that are mutual, inclusive, and provide unity in diversity; relationships whose basis is love and "power with" rather than "power over" or privilege. For the goal, in truth, is the flourishing of all people in their uniqueness and interrelation.
Brigid's Place offers classes, lectures, discussion groups, weekend workshops, and retreats where people can ask questions relating to their spiritual journeys, address their doubts, and become empowered to meet the challenges of life.
Brigid's Place is located at Christ Church Cathedral in Downtown Houston and holds events at the cathedral and elsewhere in the city, including Rothko Chapel and the Live Oak Friends Meeting House. Some St. Paul's events also are included in their schedule.
