Starting in February, an 11-part study series on the scriptural roots of the Eucharist will be offered on Sunday evenings 19:00-21:00 h at St. Bernard's in the parish hall.

Fellowship will precede the study between 18:30 and 19:00 h, directly after 17:00 Mass.

The study will be based on the Augustine Institute's Lectio on the Eucharist, supplemented with additional reflections. As we will be working directly in the Bible, participants are asked to please bring their own Bible and, if possible, their copy of the Cathechism of the Catholic Church.

Fr. Mike Schmitz and Ascension Press are back with another year-long podcast series: after reading through the entire Bible in the "Bible in a Year" podcast, Fr. Mike is now reading through the Catechism of the Catholic Church! Kick start your engagement with this amazing document as Fr. Mike reads the Catechism and comments on the content.

The podcast can be accessed through the Ascension Press website, iTunes, Spotify or wherever you listen to podcasts. For more information and free resources to go with the podcast, check out the Podcast Webpage.

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.

Singers Sarai Cole and Edwin Cotton will be singing some of their favourite Opera arias and duets with narration and staging in a Benefit Concert on January 26th at 7 PM in the Parish Hall at St. Bernard's Church. The concert it free, but donations are welcome and will go to the HOME4LIFE project in Nigeria, a project benefitting children and youth.

The Parish Hall is accessed through the gate to the left of the church.

We all face trials and carry burdens in our journey of life. However, as Christians, we do not carry these crosses alone. There is One who walks with us, helps us and brings peace to our hearts, if we turn to Him. So, come and find rest and peace before Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament. 

Every 3rd, 4th & 5th Friday between 11am and 1pm, there will be Eucharistic Adoration in the Blessed Sacrament Chapel at All Saints Church (Hüttenweg 46, 14195 Berlin). Fr. Sylvester will also be available for individual prayer and spiritual direction, except during his January absence.

Women of all ages are welcome to join our “Women at the Well” group. We meet weekly on Monday mornings between 10:15-11:15am on Zoom, to pray with the Book of Proverbs through Lectio Divina.

God made us for community, to share His love, so this is also a time for laughter, friendship, support, encouragement and spiritual growth.
