All parishes in the Diocese of Worcester are joining together for the Legacy of Hope Campaign. This campaign seeks to raise $32 million over the next 4 years to prepare our faith community for the future. At its heart, this campaign is about creating a legacy by focusing on our parishes, our retired priests, Catholic education, outreach, evangelization and our beautiful Cathedral. St. Bernadette Parish will retain 40% of every dollar raised in our parish campaign effort to be used for our own local needs!

To date, St. Bernadette Parish has raised $143,256, which is 32% of our overall target! Thank you for your generous response to our parish needs! To learn more about the Legacy of Hope Campaign, and watch our video, please visit our parish Legacy of Hope page.

Each year during Advent, 100 tags for Urban Missionaries were placed on St. Bernadette’s Giving Tree, along with tags for families in Northborough.  Many of you have generously responded to previous announcements for the Northborough families and their needs have all been met … a big THANK YOU to all of you! We are now looking to fill the needs for Urban Missionaries. If you are able to help, you may send a check or gift card to:
Urban Missionaries of Our Lady of Hope
242 Canterbury Street
Worcester, MA 01603
or you may log onto their website: www.urbanmissionaries.com and click on one of the links to join the Virtual Giving Tree for Christmas 2020 or support the 2020 Christmas Giving Go Fund Me.  Please note that you are a member of St. Bernadette Parish.

A Book of Remembrance is displayed in the front of the church and all are invited to write the names of your deceased loved ones in the book. They will be remembered at all of the Masses during the month of November

Each year the MetroWest Daily News announces their official Community Choice Awards. In 2019, St. Bernadette School was voted the Best Elementary School. This year, St. Bernadette School has received four awards. We are honored to be able to inform our community that our school has been named in four categories as “The Best of the Best.” St. Bernadette School was named Best Preschool, Elementary School, Middle School and Private School from among the top three choices nominated. The awards were announced last week in a virtual gala. This week we received a beautiful plaque for each category. Those awarded for Elementary, Middle School, and Private School will be displayed in the front lobby of the main building. The award for Best Preschool will be hung in the Sr. Marguerite Timothy Young, SSND Early Childhood Center.
