The Archdiocese of Cincinnati has launched Beacons of Light, a comprehensive process of pastoral planning, to study every aspect of the archdiocese and parishes to determine how to best array our resources – human, physical and financial – to spread the Gospel far and wide.
St. Bernard Parish is now part of a family of six parishes under one Pastor, along with Assumption, Mother of Christ, St. Bartholomew,
St. Clare, and St. Vivian.
These 6 parishes are to come together to form one parish within the next 5 years
Fr. Umberg has alerted us that scammers are targeting our Family and others in the Archdiocese with email and telephone pleas for help or donations, etc. Fr. Umberg and any other Parish Staff will NEVER email or call requesting gift cards or money be sent. If you are suspicious of such a request or contact, PLEASE call your Parish office to see if any such request is legitimate. Parishes will continue to do fundraisers etc, but they would not be conducted in this way, and would always be promoted in other verifiable ways.
a small place where God's love is made BIG!
We are a welcoming Catholic community with a strong commitment to our faith who celebrate the Eucharist in an intimate, spirit-filled setting.
We foster lay participation and leadership and share generously of our time, talent and financial support, focusing on the spiritual and material needs of all.
We work to promote justice in ourselves, our church, our community and our society
based on Gospel values.

"The Loves I have Lost" by Alica Fruhwaldova
Alica and her daughter Miriam talk about Alica's book The Loves I Have Lost, an extraordinary true story of a family's heroic triumph during the Holocaust. Affected by the racial persecutions of World War II, their story is one of heavy loss, profound fear and inconceivable suffering. At the same time, it is about the beauty of human strength and the power of perseverance. Of courage and bravery.
A discussion about life in Ukraine with Marta & Winston
Shortly after the one year anniversary of the Russian invasion of Ukraine, St. Bernard hosted an informal sharing by Ukrainian Marta Yeremenko and her husband, American Winston Ware. Learn about their experience, the country and its people and the impact of the war - up close and personal.
Our Vibrant Faith Community

Shappelle
Center
A significant element of our 100th Anniversary Year involved renovation of our annex building. We have made some major improvements, adding 2 new HVAC systems, updated restrooms, interior and exterior painting, and sound deadening acoustic panels. We would like to add new flooring and update the library room.
We have renamed the annex the “Shappelle Center” in honor of Fr. Jim, who was our longest serving pastor and whose ministry knew no boundaries. Please consider a donation to help fund these critical renovations as we look forward to enjoying our new community space.
