School Announcements:
We are very excited to offer a summer of activities for our children and teens here at St. Bernadette. Our awesome Vacation Bible School is this June, and we are blessed to host the national catechetical program Totus Tuus this July from July 8th to July 13th.
What is Totus Tuus?
Totus Tuus is a program that seeks to lead children and teens closer to Christ through prayer, sacraments, and fun.
What to Expect
During the daytime program, children (1st-6th grade) will be diving into the Apostles’ Creed and the Luminous Mysteries, attending Mass, and praying a decade of the Rosary, in addition to enjoying games, recess, skits, crafts, and songs. During the evening program (7th – 12th grade), kids and teens will hear talks on topics such as Theology of the Body and prayer, with one night devoted entirely to Adoration and Confession. The evenings will also include discussion, games, snacks, prayer, and authentic fellowship.
Who Can Attend
The daytime program is for 1st-6th graders and runs from Monday, July 9th – Friday, July 13th 9:00am-2:30pm.
The evening program is for 7th – 12th graders and runs from Sunday, July 8th – Thursday, July 12th from 7:00pm-9:00pm.
What is the cost?
The programs costs $15.00 per child, or $35.00 per family of three or more children. Snacks will be provided for grade school kids but each child must bring a sack lunch. Please inquire at the Parish if scholarships are needed.
