Hello everyone, 

We have dug up the beautiful red Canna bulbs from in front of the church again this year. You are welcome to take them home to store for the winter. Plant them in your garden in the spring to enjoy. Please bring a bag. Take what you like but remember they will each produce many more. They will be in the front entrance of church this weekend, November 23 & 24. 

Anyone interested in donating to the Christmas Poinsettias please place donation with the names of those you would like us to pray for in an envelope and drop off at the rectory or in the collection basket at any Mass. It will be placed on the Altar to pray for and also will be placed in the bulletin closer to Christmas. Please marked envelope deceased or living.

Saturday, December 14, is the Christmas Dinner for the Homeless Men. We are in need of 16 cooked turkeys, popcorn balls, Christmas candy, fruit and Christmas desserts. Please drop these items off between 12-2:00 pm to the Church hall on December 14. Thank you for all you do for the homeless people who are less fortunate than we are. If you would like to help with the turkeys or for more information, call Mike Fimiani at 203-627-9216 or 203-467-9690.

Performance by the St. Bernadette Choir will take place right after the 10:00 am Mass on Sunday, December 1. Please join us in the Church hall for some fun Christmas music and coffee/and. Great way to start the holiday season.

Written by Michael A. Fimiani...As a member of St. Bernadette Parish Church Community I feel the need to speak out in regards to the many rumors circulating about the future of St. Bernadette Parish’s closing.

PLEASE THESE RUMORS ARE UNSUBSTANTIATED AND COULD POSSIBLY CAUSE UNDUE CONCERN AND ANGUISH FOR OUR PARISHIONERS.

First let me say St. Bernadette Church is a very big part of not only the Morris Cove Community but the Community as a whole. We provide meals and foods to those in need no matter where they reside. Our former convent is used as a Senior Center, bereavement groups, AAA and NA meeting, and other community needs.
