Honoring Our Veterans
St. Bernard’s invites veterans, those currently enlisted, their families and parishioners to a special Veterans Day weekend event. St. Bernard’s will honor veterans with an acknowledgement at the beginning of Mass and a prayer of thanks and blessing at the end of Mass. A reception in their honor will be held after the 4:00 Mass on Saturday, November 9, and hosted by the Worship Committee, Adult Choir, and Men’s Club. The adult choir will perform a short musical tribute after this Mass.
Refreshments to be served after the tribute.
Did you know? November 11th is the date of Veterans Day each year, with only the day of the week fluctuating. What is the significance of that exact date? The armistice between the Allied Forces and Germany was put into effect on the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month in 1918.
