Wisdom of the Saints - St. Hildegard of Bingen

How can Saints speak to us in our own life situations today, become our friends, and help us to deepen our faith? Once a month (3rd Friday of each month), we meet in-person at St. Bernhard to focus on the life and writings of one great Saint. Group discussions provide an opportunity to reflect on the Saint’s message to us as we walk our personal  journey of faith.

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

Monday International 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 (ONLINE)

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.
