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.
In April we will meet St. Hildegard of Bingen, also known as the “Sibyl of the Rhine” or as she described herself “a feather on the breath of God."
Time/location: 7:00 - 8:30 PM at St. Bernhard's church, parish hall's small basement lounge.

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.
The basic idea is to spend time listening deeply and intently to what God might have to say to you through Scripture—almost as if the sacred text were a much-cherished love letter from God. Lectio Divina is like a deep conversation with a best friend. It is not a study method. Background knowledge can be helpful but is not essential. Our real goal is to meet our Lord as we read his Word and allow him to transform our lives to be more like him through the work of the Holy Spirit.
Join us as we meet online every TUESDAY evening, to dive deeper into the upcoming Sunday Mass readings. There is no commitment to join every week, just come whenever you can, spend some time praying through Scripture and sharing with each other.
