2008 Annual Bishop's Appeal
"Bringing Hope To Those In Need"

Most parishioners realize that their Annual Bishop's Appeal gifts support the hungry, the homeless, the frail and the sick. But your help goes beyond that. Every parishioner at some point has benefited from the ABA. Every Catholic school and parish faith formation program, like the one here in our parish, receives part of your gift through Diocesan training, support and consultation. Marriage preparation programs, clergy enrichment programs as well as a host of other human service, spiritual and educational activities exist to provide service through your goodness to this vital campaign. Please consider increasing your ABA gift this year. Be Christ for others and make a generous pledge to the Annual Bishop's Appeal. Thank you.

Please download our Parish Bulletin for more details

St. Bernard Prayer Wall

Do you or any of the people you care for have spiritual, physical, or personal problems? Do you want to have your brothers and sisters in Christ join you in prayer to help them or to help you?

If the answers to the above are yes, please fill out a 3x5 card expressing your prayer request (no need to sign it) and place it in the holder on The St. Bernard Prayer Wall located in the entrance to the church closest to the ramp for the handicapped. Your card will be placed under the altar cloth close to the real presence of the Body and Blood of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Please consider this as an act of asking your St. Bernard family for prayerful support in your time of need.

Rockville-Vernon Community Creche
The Christian Churches in the area purchased a new crèche for the town green. This project is a collaborative effort of the area Christian churches to make the love of Christ visible in our community. In addition to the crèche, which brings attention to the wonder of Christ among us, the churches work together to feed the hungry, clothe the naked and provide shelter for those who need it.

Additional figures will be added to the creche with your support. With your help we can add a donkey, a few shepherds and the wise men.
