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

In Lourdes, the Holy Virgin invites all to regard earth as a place of pilgrimage toward our final homeland, which is heaven.
On this beautiful Feast Day, let us not forget her message to us “I do not promise you happiness in this world, but in the next." Our Lady of Lourdes, Pray for Us.
Thank you you to our St. Bernadette Home & School Association for providing O’Brien Hall with a life-saving AED device! We are grateful for all of the work they do to support the mission of our school and parish! 
Thank you Home and School members Jill Blackwell, Amira Rodgers, and Nicole Melnick for keeping the safety of our students, teachers, and all who attend our events in O'Brien Hall a top priority! With the students in the hall for lunch daily and the many assemblies and events that the hall hosts, these ladies knew that it was important to have an AED (similar to the one in our school building) in O'Brien Hall as well. We appreciate all of the research and work these three did to make this happen! Thank you!
Thank you all for your constant support of our fundraisers so that we are able to fund important things like this new AED to keep our students, teachers, and school community safe!
Opening night last night went FANTASTIC! Our talented St. Bernadette School students put on an amazing performance of Godspell Jr. If you missed our opening night of Godspell Jr. have no fear! You have the opportunity to see the final show tonight at 7:30 pm in O’Brien Hall. Tickets are sold at the door! Don’t miss out! Hope to see you all there ❤️🎭
We would like to thank Boy Scout Pack 92 at Holy Child Academy for their service project in observance of Dr. Martin Luther King day. They prepared blessing bags, peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, and donated coats, hats, gloves, scarves, food, and other items to the St. Bernadette, Food Pantry. The St. Bernadette Food Pantry sent the items to the homeless shelter on 63rd Street-The Life Center of East Delaware County. The St. Bernadette Food Pantry also donated donuts and other perishable food items to the homeless. We are greatful to be working together as one body and one Spirit in Jesus Christ.
