Celebrating 100 years of being a Catholic Community here at St. Bernard's

August 24, 2008

During the month of August we celebrated our Centennial journey here at St. Bernard's.

• On August 15th, a Novena of Masses began and continued each evening in the Church for the spiritual enhancement of our people.

• We were honored to have Fr. Shawn Aaron and Fr. Chad Wahl here to celebrate the Novena Masses.  They are priests from the Legion of Christ Order.  Those who came to our celebration were spiritually nourished and motivated by these exceptional speakers.  Fr. Shawn and Fr. Chad also provided the Sacrament of Reconciliation after the Novena Masses.

• On Wednesday, August 20th, 2008, there was a special Mass held for the Feast of our Patron Saint, St. Bernard of Clairvaux.

• On Sunday, August 24th, 2009, an outdoor Mass was celebrated to commemorate our anniversary (the gathering began at 9:00 a.m. in the back lawn).

• After the outdoor Mass, there was a complimentary luncheon offered in the Fr. Fleming Large Hall.
