Welcome to Brigid's Place                                             

Brigid's Place is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization incorporated by the state of Texas providing spiritual transformation and empowerment through programs, classes and workshops. Our home is at Christ Church Cathedral, but new programs and sites throughout Houston are added in response to demand.  Brigid's Place is not a religious organization. 

For more than 15 years, seekers from all over South Texas and Lousiana, members of Christ Church Cathedral and people from other churches and places have been taking part in Brigid's Place events.

Many of our event particpants are people who have become uncomfortable with certain aspects of organized religions yet are hungry to continue their spiritual growth and are searching for the sacred in their lives.

Brigid's Place encourages the discovery of the authentic self because, in searching for the gifts God has given us, we find we are more responsive to the needs of the world.

Brigid's Place has been called "a sanctuary for the female soul."  Brigid's Place offers opportunities to pray and meditate, alone or in community, find support and direction in small groups and conversations within community. Our academic aspect emphasizes a broad range of topics such as women's voices, gender roles, women's spiritual histories, theology and the scriptures, women and work, women and families, and all of the issues confronting women and men in our evolving society.

We of Brigid's Place believe that people with a spiritual hunger are looking for a place where they can ask questions about the meaning of life and their spiritual journey. There are no membership requirements. Many programs are offered free of charge and scholarships are often available for those who need them.

Brigid's Place started with the financial support of the women of Christ Church Cathedral. An annual giving campaign was established to address the organization's growing needs.

Brigid's Place is named for St. Brigid, a fifth-century Irish Celtic saint who founded a monastery for men and women who were known for their wisdom, compassion, hospitality and healing. The monastery was based on the social concept of equality between women and men.
