Dear Community of St. Bernard,We owe a debt of gratitude to all the

liturgical ministers, the church decorators, our donors, collection counters, and the staff for all their efforts this Easter. I am especially grateful to Matt Farfak and the Newman Students who after attending Easter with their families in the morning returned to help with the 8pm Mass.

Today is also known as Divine Mercy Sunday. See the ad for TODAY'S Prayer Service at 3:00pm. Also, plan to join next Sunday's event at St. Mary called "Joyfully Gifted"; a great preparation for Pentecost.

This Wednesday is a Talent Night presented by Newman Students in the Social Hall. All are invited.

Please note that I am still in need of some part- time workers this summer at St. Mary School. If you would like to earn some extra cash helping with janitorial tasks, please contact me at the parish office.

Blessed Easter, Fr. Dan
