Religious Education
Our plans for the 2020-2021 RE year are now in place. Please click on the RE Registration page to learn more about how this year will look amidst the COVID-19 pandemic.
Questions about religious education?
Pre-K - Grade 5, please contact Jenna Ripp.
Grades 6 and up, please contact Zoe Bernard.Sacramental Preparation
Traditionally, First Communion and First Reconciliation occur during a student's second-grade year. Our diocese asks us to ensure that students are enrolled in religious education for one full year prior to seeking a sacrament.
Confirmation will be celebrated in the fall of tenth grade (or later, if the student is not ready). All students K-12 should be enrolled in parish catechetical programs. Our High School Faith Formation program does not end with Confirmation. We pause to celebrate the sacrament but know that it is only one step in our journey in growing in relationship with Christ.
Sacramental preparation is "above and beyond" standard Religious Education classes. Together, we will work with parents, families, and sponsors to prepare your child for these special, grace-filled moments.Vacation Bible School
Vacation Bible School (VBS) is a week-long event for elementary students (ages 4K through fifth grade) held each summer here at St. Bernard. Unfortunately, this year it will not be held because of the coronavirus pandemic.
Youth Retreats & Events
Our parish participates in many retreats and events. Many of these opportunities are above and beyond traditional religious education. We strongly encourage participation, because retreats are a great opportunity to truly encounter the Lord. When available, information about upcoming retreats and ways to register will be found here.
