Ours is a church community of disciples living out our relationship with Jesus Christ through prayer, praise, and service. Ours is a family of disciples who are learning to wash one another's feet in imitation of Jesus Christ who calls all who follow him to take up their cross and join his effort. Ours is a parish of disciples who are seeking to live out our mission to strengthen our relationship with God and all people through acts of charity, justice, and love, proclaiming the Gospel, sharing the Eucharist and developing our ministries.
As the pastor of Saint Bernadette, I am grateful for the energy and enthusiasm our parishioners bring to every endeavor. Whether it be our praise of God in the Mass, our socializing in parish dinners or parties, our passing on the faith to our children through our Saint Mary Academy or public school GIFT program, or our outreach to the sick, the poor, and the vulnerable, in all matters our parishioners bring their many talents and gifts to the service of Jesus Christ. God gets to us through us here at Saint Bernadette!
I invite you to become a part of our discipleship crusade to deepen our relationship with Jesus and through this personal encounter become his hands and heart in our community. May the Holy Spirit of God, which has brought you here to us, continue to inspire your journey with the Lord. And should you choose to join us, we will together discover the great blessings God wishes to shower upon us all.
Sincerely in Christ,
Fr. Jeff Nicolas, Pastor of Saint Bernadette
