"... to
teach as Jesus did means calling and equipping all |
Christians of every
age and stage of life to
fulfill their |
baptismal
call to holiness in family, Church and society |
| --
their mission to evangelize and transformthe world |
| into
a more caring and just society..." |
| U.S.Bishops,
Our Hearts Were Burning Within Us: |
|
A Pastoral Plan for Adult Faith Formation in
the United States, 1999 |
| |
| At
St. Bernard's, we seek to form and nurture the faith of all of
our parishioners " from womb |
| to tomb." The Catholic Church wisely
observes that since adults are the ones who have the greatest |
| ability to understand and respond to the
call of Jesus to "follow me" and to transform society,
|
| providing opportunity for adults to grow
in faith and put into action should be the top priority
in |
| parish faith formation. In keeping with this mandate,
St. Bernard's parish offers ongoing |
| opportunities for adults of all ages and interests
to deepen their spiritual lives and their |
| understanding of the Catholic faith, and to explore
ways to bring the presence of Christ to |
| their homes, communities and workplaces. |
| |
| We believe we CAN change the world - one committed
Catholic Christian adult at a time ! |
