CAN SPECIAL EVENTS BE PUT ON THE WEBSITE SO HOMEBOUND PEOPLE CAN SEE IT?
A: Our church building was intentionally designed so that we move past our baptismal font when entering the worship space. Signing ourselves from the font serves as a reminder of one's individual baptism and that we enter the church through baptism. We feel that, with the font being so close to the Narthex doors, we would lose some of this symbolism by adding additional holy water fonts to the worship space.

A: We welcome new parishioners in a variety of ways, including emails with parish information and personal welcome phone calls. Also, the new member is invited to attend a New Member Welcome meeting in which the new member is introduced to other new members as they all have an opportunity to meet our priest and see the church.

A. There is always room for improvement, but we do have material from some special events on the parish website: To see the presentations Bob Sugrue has submitted for the website, the parishioner can go to our homepage (www.stb2008.org) and then, from the top menu, click "Events/News" and then "presentations".

A. In the past, Saint Bernadette has been raising money for assisting our Sister parish in Haiti. These funds have been helping buy resources and for supplementing teachers' salaries. After the hurricane in 2016, Saint Bernadette raised $68,000 for disaster relief. These funds were for rebuilding the parish and assisting in other ways. Future funds will have the intention of helping the parish become independent and continue to grow. Back to Top
