“The parish is the presence of the Church in a given territory, an environment for hearing God’s word, for growth in the Christian life, for dialogue, proclamation, charitable outreach, worship and celebration. In all its activities the parish encourages and trains its members to be evangelisers. It is a community of communities, a sanctuary where the thirsty come to drink in the midst of their journey, and a centre of constant missionary outreach. We must admit, though, that the call to review and renew our parishes has not yet sufficed to bring them nearer to people, to make them environments of living communion and participation, and to make them completely mission-oriented." -Evangelii Gaudium

St. Bernadette Catholic Church is not just the walls of the sanctuary but a thriving community with people dedicated to the mission of the New Evangelization to have a renewal in spirit throughout all our ministries that we provide. The Parish Life of St. Bernadette Catholic Church has a variety of ministries from Social Outreach to Faith Formation and we would love to have you join a ministry that you are feeling called to. Please refer to the side column for our list of different ministries.
