Christ the King Procession & We have an ORATORY!

November 24, 2024

Once again we participated in our parishes downtown procession of Jesus in the Eucharist. We walked down Main St with our brethren from St. Francis Church proclaiming to the world that Jesus is Lord of all of our life. We, without shame, but with much love, followed HIM in song, praise and reverence. Mrs. Linda processed with our CDA flag along side our brother Knights. What a beautiful event for us to live our faith in the world.

Once Benediction was over, we congregated at our new Oratory! Our parish purchased the building across the street from church and there we will have a space for school age kids to gather after school and on Wednesday evenings participate in catechesis, dinner and life-giving activities.

Another place on St. Bernard Campus you will find Court St. Paul CDA's!

St. Paul, pray for us St. Bernard, pray for us St. John Bosco, pray for us St. Joseph, pray for us

A NEW Ministry @ SBCC-Senior Luncheon

October 1, 2024

We have so many good things happening at SBCC and at each event you will find Catholic Daughters. Well, not only is the room filled with Catholic Daughters (both as Seniors but as servers, too) but it is our Vice Regent who was tapped by Fr. McIntyre to head the newly formed ministry SENIOR LUNCHEON. It will be a time for parishioners 50+ to gather for lunch, listen to speakers, fellowship and then Q & A with Father. Court St. Paul members graciously assist Paula in this much needed and appreciated ministry. I Love our parish! You can see by the photos below we are growing..........look at all the strollers outside of church!

Blessing of Tombs

Every year on the Sunday before All Saints Day our Priest and Deacons bless every single tomb in our 2 cemeteries. Yes, they walk in front of each one sprinkling Holy Water while the Catholic Daughters lead loved ones in a Rosary. What a special day to pray for our beloved dead, visit with friends and family and hear a little bit of the language of our ancestors.....a decade of the Rosary in French. Eternal rest grant unto them O'Lord and let perpetual light shine upon them. May their soul and the souls of all the faithful departed through the mercy of God rest in peace. Amen.

And please look at the beautiful Altar donated by CDA some years ago AND the sun in one of the pictures.....it looks like a MONSTRANCE and is right over our church and adoration chapel!!! What a little gift from our good and gracious God.
