Celebrating the Sacraments
Parishioners of St. Bernard of Clairvaux can participate in all three sacraments of initiation, baptism, Eucharist and confirmation, when they reach the appropriate age and/or have participated in sacramental preparation. Parishioners can partake in the celebration of the Eucharist at every Mass, and can participate in the sacrament of reconciliation, Saturdays from 8:00 a.m. to 10:00 a.m., or by appointment.
Parishioners of St. Bernard can also celebrate the sacrament of marriage in the church by contacting the parish office to secure a date and beginning the planning process. The reception of the anointing of the sick can be scheduled as well. Any parishioner interested in exploring more about vocations, please visit here.
Faith Formation
St. Bernard of Clairvaux Parish offers faith formation, formerly known as CCD, for school-aged children, which teaches them about their faith and prepares them to receive the sacraments. Non-Catholics who want to enter the church are invited to participate in the Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults (RCIA).
