• More trusses added to the roof over the worship area

    Construction is picking up speed with good weather and materials delivered without delay.

  • And walls go up

    New church building looks more solid as walls go up.

  • Walls and shiny roof are laid down. Glorious.

    Walls and roof are added, giving a more definite form to the steel framework.

  • Hopefully the bells will be ringing later this year

    The bell tower stands guard in front of the church off the curve at the Brownsboro Road/Hwy. 1694.

  • Let the light shine forth your way to Jesus

    The new church is perfectly located where drivers passing by will see the sunset and bell tower coming south-bound on Brownsboro Road/Hwy. 1694.

  • A peek at the basement.

    Work on the basement is progressing fast as well.

  • And the steel trusses keep coming in!

    The new church framing is moving along fast.

  • Wide view of the walkways

    The walkways can be seen as more of the steel framework are added

  • Framing continues at a furious pace

    The new church began to look more like the renderings every day.

  • Framing of the roof of the worship space started

    Special trusses are installed painstakingly one truss at a time. It looks like the mothership has landed.

  • No nails here.

    Trusses are welded and bolted unlike wood framing.

  • St. Bernadette Easter Egg Hunt 2012

    Got one! Mom, I got one! A surprise Easter egg!

  • Mom would love a picture of this!

    Hunting for Easter eggs is not just a treat for the kids, but a sweet moment to capture for parents and family members.

  • Let's get the prizes while the getting's good

    Prizes are snatched up by eager hands. Empty egg shells are placed in bins and used again next year. Smart idea.

  • St. Bernardette Parish Center

    Mass is celebrated Monday through Friday in the parish center (with the exception of some Thursdays, when it is celebrated only in the Saint Mary Academy gym).

Today's Readings

Saint of the Day

Saint of the Day
Catholic saints are holy people and human people who lived extraordinary lives. Each saint the Church honors responded to an invitation from God to use his or her unique gifts. God calls each one of us to be a saint.
  • St. Magdalen of Canossa (April 10, 2012)
    Wealth and privilege did nothing to prevent today's saint from following her calling to serve Christ in the poor. Nor did the protests of her relatives, concerned that such work was beneath her.
