Registration Sacramental Preparation - 2025/2026 school year

sacramental prep

Registration for sacramental preparation for the 2025/2026 school year is now open. 

First Holy Communion:   Enrolment is open through the last Sunday in September. If your child is baptized, please attach a PDF scan of the baptismal certificate. If your child is not yet baptized, please indicate this in your email. The office will collect your name and details and provide you with the necessary registration form.

The communal celebration of Holy Mass with their peers and families is a key component of a young child's formation in the Catholic faith. Therefore, there is an expectation for families to attend Sunday Mass in the English-speaking Mission during the time of preparation (directly following the 10 am class). Families who are unable to commit to this are asked to defer enrollment until they can do so.

We need new volunteer catechists to teach First Holy Communion classes at St. Bernhard’s next school year. Volunteers must be willing assume team responsibility to plan lessons, communicate closely with parents, teach Sundays (10:00-10:45 am outside school vacations) and help plan and rehearse the First Communion Mass. Detailed training can be provided. Please contact the ESM Office by email (alsda46@aol.com) or speak directly with Father Sylvester Ajunwa.

Confirmation: this is a 2-year program, covering the 2025/2026 and 2026/2027 school years. Confirmation is celebrated every 2 years in the ESM.

Interested parents, please contact the ESM Office via email at alsda46@aol.com to request the registration form and get on the mailing list.

 

Monday Rosary

Please join us in praying the Rosary of the Blessed Virgin Mary on Mondays at 7 pm (St. Bernard's Church).

On the first Monday of every month, the Rosary is prayed before the Blessed Sacrament in Adoration.

Tuesday Evening Lectio Divina Group - Diving into the Sunday Readings

The traditional monastic practice of Lectio Divina (Latin for “holy/divine reading”) provides a way to enter into Sacred Scripture as a living Word for our time. Lectio Divina becomes more about divine listening than divine reading when we take the time to do it. This is why we pray Lectio Divina — to become better listeners of the Lord, to hear more clearly what God is asking of us - opening ourselves to peace, gratitude, and living rooted in Christ.
