St. Bernard's mission in Faith Formation is to help children experience the presence of God in their lives and to teach who Jesus Christ is by the guidance of the Holy Spirit. We aim to follow the ways of Jesus Christ through teachings of the Catholic Faith, creatively engaging them in the learning process, and to give them hope in their salvation.
