If you didn’t know she was away this weekend, go here Brigid off to Notre Dame<\/font><\/a> and here  Brigid makes the news at Notre Dame today<\/font><\/a> .<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Brigid got home around 11:30 this morning. On the way back from Notre Dame they made several stops in New Jersey, dropping people off at home or school, before she picked up her car at a “secure location” (Joan and Chris’ house) near Port Jervis. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thanks to the many people who have already emailed or called Brigid to see how she’s doing and to congratulate her!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

More stuff to follow in other posts – here are three pictures from ND from Brigid’s camera.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You have to love this sign in the window of the small office that the “alternate commencement” had rented –<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The back of Joan Andrews Bell’s t-shirt has a profound line on it. To her right is Fr. Norman Weslin, who is 80 years old and who was arrested twice – Action at Notre Dame as police crack down on 80 year old priest carrying crucifix<\/font><\/a> and refused to pay bail the second time. He may still be in jail.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And here she is with some of the people she was arrested with. She was out on bail after a couple of hours. The woman wearing the Notre Dame sweat shirt is Norma McCorvey, the “Roe” in Roe v. Wade. About ten years ago she renounced her pro-abortion position, became an Evangelical Christian and then a Catholic, and is now working to get Roe v. Wade reversed. A profound conversion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Brigid’s t-shirt says “Pro-justice  Pro-life  Pro-peace.” Kind of a wear-to-any-demonstration t-shirt. Yeah, yeah, not everyone will like the sign. We report you decide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
