Parishioners are invited to join the tradition of adding bells to the Mass of the Lord’s Supper on Holy Thursday. Bell ringers need not be able to read musical notation. Rehearsals after the 9:30 Masses in March. To participate see Luci Majikas after any Mass.

Church Open for Prayer

St Bernard Church will be open for personal prayer and reflection during Lent from 2 PM until 4 PM Monday through Friday. This offers a quiet time for all to consider the intentions and benefits of the Lenten Season.

BASKET BONANZA

The Women’s Guild’s Basket Bonanza tickets will be available at all Sunday Masses until the 13 March drawing. The Ladies have worked hard to make this year’s baskets amazing and adapted to St Bernard’s limited space after the loss of the Hall. Don’t miss a chance to support their charities and claim one of the baskets.
