Welcome to our Saint Bernadette Parish Community

 

 

 

Called by our Baptism to be the People of God and formed by the Holy Spirit to be Saint Bernadette Roman Catholic Parish, we its members recognize our need to grow as a faith community.

We accept God’s call to:
 – Worship together at the celebration of the Eucharist, enriched by private and communal prayer and graced by the Sacraments;
 – Recognize Christ within each other and respond to His Presence with charity, justice and peace;
 – Bear witness with our lives to the Gospel of Jesus Christ;
 – Teach the Good News proclaimed by Jesus to love God and others;
 – Minister to the spiritual, physical, emotional and material needs of one another.

In union with the one, holy, catholic and apostolic Church and mindful of our mission, we resolve to live with Christ at the center of our lives.  We pray, through the intercession of the Blessed Mother and Saint Bernadette, for guidance from the Holy Spirit to carry out our mission as faithful members of Saint Bernadette of Lourdes Parish

A message from Fr. Masson:

It is with great joy and an answer to many prayers that I can announce that Mrs. Fran McElhenney has accepted the position as Principal of St. Bernadette School. After the departure of our Principal, Mrs. Montie, at the end of the 2023-24 school year, Mrs. McElhenney has been serving as Interim Principal. She has brought a vast experience as a teacher and administrator as well as an energy and love for students and community.

Mrs. McElhenney is a parishioner who has 17 years of teaching experience and 11 years of administrative experience as Vice Principal at Drexel Hill Middle School. As a parishioner she was already on our School Advisory Board and had been a part of our school as a substitute teacher. Her character and resume are impressive.

We are happy to have her as our Principal.

St. Leonie Aviat, Pray for Us!
St. Bernadette, Pray for Us!

God Bless,
