Welcome to our Saint Bernadette Parish Community
We will be accepting Mass intentions for January 2024 through June 2024 beginning this Monday, September 25 at 9am in the Rectory office. The office is open M – F from 9am-noon and 1pm-5pm.
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

St. Bernadette Food Pantry would like to thankDasha Pruett for her donation of coats and School bags loaded with school supplies for the St. Bernadette Food Pantry. Also a huge thank you to St. Bernadette's CYO for donating milk, eggs, bread and butter for the St. Bernadette Thanksgiving food drive and to all our Parishioners who donated their time, turkeys and other food items making our food drive a success! God Bless you!
Twenty two years ago, on November 25th, Leonie Aviat, the foundress of the Oblate Sisters of St. Francis DeSales, was canonized. Yesterday, some of our beloved sisters, who served in St. Bernadette Parish, made a visit to our church to see the beautiful statue of Saint Leonie Aviat. This statue honors Mother Aviat and the miracle that took place through her intercession and the powerful prayers of our parish. The visit was made even more special as Sister Eva Bernard, from South Africa, was able to see the statue for the first time. Saint Leonie Aviat, pray for us.

“For everything God created is good, and nothing is to be rejected if it is received with thanksgiving, because it is consecrated by the word of God and prayer." A Happy anrd Blessed Thanksgiving to all!
A big thank you to Harry's Hands for their generous donation of Utz produts and winter coats to the St. Bernadette Food Pantry. The Saint Bernadette Food Pantry will be distributing them to our parishioners in need as well as those in need in our community.
This morning we held our 2nd and 7th grade class Mass. In addition to helping with the liturgy, students who will be receiving the sacraments of Reconciliation, First Holy Communion, and Confirmation this year were presented with pins as an outward sign of their preparations for this special time in their lives. The church was so full, Father John was elated!
Please keep these students in your prayers over the next several months as they open their minds and hearts to receiving the Bread of Life and the Holy Spirit 🙏🏻 📸: St. Bernadette School
