PARISH ORGANIZATIONS
Opportunities for service and community
Altar & Rosary Society
The Altar and Rosary Society at Saint Bernadette is a group of prayerful, fun-loving, caring women.
We begin each meeting by praying the rosary. After the Rosary, we conduct a business meeting and enjoy planned activities.
Money raised is used to purchase and clean linens, altar cloths and vestments. Additional donations are made to other parish needs, events and charitable works.

GriefShare
Grief is not a timed, planned, or structured event, but rather a human experience of profound loss and love. GriefShare, Our Journey from Mourning to Joy, is a program involving a short video, discussion, and sharing with others on a similar journey. All are welcome, whether new or experienced in the journey.
