All Masses, events, activities, and meetings have been canceled until further notice. Please check back for updates. If you have not been receiving e-mail notices and would like to be on the list for updates, please contact the parish office. In addition, in an effort to further minimize traffic through the parish facility, we are closing the parish offices effective immediately through the end of March. We will be working on essential tasks from home and coming to the office only as our work demands. Please understand that your phone call or e-mail may not be immediately returned as we will have limited access to our offices.

It is a lot of money, so let’s break it down:

Our Mission

St. Bernadette Parish is a welcoming Catholic faith community, empowered by the Holy Spirit to help bring about the Kingdom of God, through worshiping in sacrament, teaching the Word, and serving as Jesus did.

"To live for God only, for God everywhere, for God always!"
—Saint Bernadette (1867)

We are proud of our heritage and the ways it continues to form our ministries. We are inspired by the life and blessings of our patron, St. Bernadette, and called to live Jesus' ministries in our neighborhood and beyond.

Learn more about us.
We hope you will visit us, to witness our passion in action.

To verify that we are closed, watch for St. Bernadette Parish (or Saint Bernadette Parish) in the closings on Today's TMJ 4, Fox 6, or WISN Channel 12, or look for us on the closing pages on their websites.
