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.

Join the St Bernard Walk Days on March 12th & 31st from 9:30 until 1:00 PM. Details and the sign up sheet are located in the vestibule. These marches promote respect for the lives of unborn children.

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.

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.
