Mission Statement

Cars on a highway"The Parish of St. Bernadette is a community of faith, proud of our Catholic identity, and welcoming people from all walks of life and from all over the world. We strive to be united as an example of Christ and His teachings, and to pass on our Christian experience from generation to generation. Our Parish is devoted to the Eucharist as it gathers, nourishes and challenges us to live out the Gospel Message. We seek to grow in number and faith, working together in the hope that we will become what we receive—the Body of Christ."
