🙏 OCTOBER is THE MONTH OF THE HOLY ROSARY and we warmly INVITE YOU to join us at St Bernard’s EVERY WEDNESDAY in October at 7:00 PM as we come together in faith, prayer and friendship.

The Rosary is a beautiful opportunity to slow down, find a moment of peace and draw closer to God. Through its mysteries, we reflect on the life, death and Resurrection of Jesus Christ, walking alongside Jesus and Mary in moments of joy, sorrow and hope.

Whether you pray the Rosary regularly, haven't prayed it for years, or are simply curious, YOU ARE ALWAYS WELCOME!

Bring a friend, take a little time out of your busy week and join us for a peaceful evening of prayer.

🌿 A heartfelt THANK YOU to everyone who joined us last Sunday for our Jubilee of St Francis of Assisi! What a wonderful celebration of FAITH, FRIENDSHIP, GENEROSITY AND TOGETHERNESS!

220 PEOPLE • ONE COMMUNITY • A BEAUTIFUL DAY TO REMEMBER

There was something happening everywhere! Children enjoyed games and the drawing competition, our fabulous fashion parade brought plenty of smiles, and the creative upcycling shop was full of surprises. Books, plants, fresh garden produce and delicious food brought people of all ages and cultures together.

AND THEN… THE POWER WENT OUT! Not just for a few minutes, but throughout the entire event! Yet somehow, it felt rather fitting. Perhaps St Francis was reminding us to LIVE SIMPLY, CARE DEEPLY AND APPRECIATE WHAT TRULY MATTERS.

Since Sunday, we've received so many lovely comments describing the day as “heartwarming,” “amazing,” and “fun.” One person summed it up beautifully: “A PRIVILEGE TO SEE.”

And that's exactly what made the day so special. Not just the activities or the food, but people coming together, sharing, connecting and celebrating our wonderful parish community.

A heartfelt THANK YOU to our incredible event team, volunteers and generous parishioners who made it all possible. We are also grateful for the donations to our Caritas Nepal Flood Appeal.

DIFFERENT AGES. DIFFERENT CULTURES. ONE ST BERNARD'S FAMILY.

With heartfelt thanks and gratitude,
Fr Tho & the Parish Leadership Team

October is a month dedicated to praying the Rosary. To celebrate, we would like to invite you all to come along as we pray the Rosary together, every Wednesday evening in October at 7pm, starting TONIGHT.

We will begin with Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament, pray the Rosary and end with Benediction.

The Rosary is a powerful prayer that draws the individual closer to God by inviting them to meditate on the life, death, and Resurrection of Jesus Christ. Through its mysteries, we walk alongside Christ and Mary, reflecting on their joys, sorrows, and triumphs.
