If you have ever considered joining the Altar Society or perhaps you have been looking for a new ministry to join, the Altar Society is in need of several new members.  The Altar Society Ministry members are responsible for cleaning and preparing the church for weekend services.  No one is asked to work beyond his or her capabilites.  You can expect to work in small groups for 2 hours (usually Saturday mornings) once every 2 months.  The ministry is made up of individuals, couples, and families.  For more information or to volunteer, contact Walter Zydlewski at 508-485-7683.

Music is of paramount importance to our worship experience here at St. Bernadette Parish.  We do not view the music ministry as a chance to perform; rather, it is an opportunity to meditate deeply on the Word while also acting as Witnesses for the rest of the congregation.  No prior musical experience nor the ability to read music is required to join our ministry.  Simply come with your enthusiasm and a willingness to try new things!  For more information, please click on the title above.

A reminder not to respond to any strange emails or texts from Fr. Falco...There have been numerous emails, and now texts, from people claiming to be Fr. Falco.  Please do not respond.  If Father needs to reach you, he will call you on the phone or speak to you personally.  Thank you!
