Most Recent Information from our Bulletin:

Some parishioners have been wondering about the status of the Diocesan Journey in Faith and Grace.  What we know is that the process is still underway.  It will take some time before any decisions are made with regard to changes affecting parishes in our geographic area.  We want to assure everyone that it continues to be “business as usual” at St. Bernadette’s.  Our Mass schedules, faith formation programs, and other liturgical services remain the same.  Our highly regarded parochial school remains open, and we encourage parishioners to consider this option in the coming school years.  As usual, we will continue to work closely with our neighboring parishes.  In the meantime, we need to allow the Diocesan process to continue.  We will provide you with an update when more information becomes available…
