Baptism
We are formally received into the Catholic Community through the Sacrament of Baptism. Specific arrangements are made by calling our Parish Office at 850-234-3266 for information regarding the date of the Baptism, the preparation class for the parents and godparents, and the completion of the registration form for Baptism. Traditionally we schedule this sacrament after the 10:00am Sunday Mass, however other arrangements are available under special circumstances.
Reconciliation
We ask God's forgiveness of our sins through the sacrament of Reconciliation on Saturday from 230-3:30 pm (winter) and 4:30pm - 5:30 pm (summer). Communal penance services take place twice a year during Advent and Lent. Please call the church office at (850) 234-3266 to schedule a private confession if you are not able to attend Friday reconciliation.
Holy Eucharist
Holy Eucharist is celebrated at Mass as we receive Jesus in the consecrated bread and the Precious Blood. Extraordinary Ministers of Holy Communion are specially trained to assist in distributing Communion during Mass and to bring Eucharist to the sick and homebound. Please call the church office if you have a loved one who is homebound and would like to receive this sacrament.
Confirmation
In Confirmation, young adults receive the fullness of the Holy Spirit like the Apostles at Pentecost. Confirmed members, with the help of the Holy Spirit, continue to evangelize others and build up the Body of Christ.
Matrimony
In sacramental marriage, a man and woman make a lifelong gift of themselves to each other. Roman Catholics are required to be married in church by a Priest or Deacon. To insure understanding of all that their gift involves, the Diocese of Pensacola-Tallahassee requires 4 to 6 months preparation time. All couples wishing to be married at St. Bernadette Parish should contact the church office for our parish guidelines and availability.
Weddings must be booked six months in advance.
Wedding ceremonies are performed on Saturdays at 11:00am, 1:00pm, or 2:00pm, with a rehearsal on Friday evening at 5:00pm. Weddings are all inclusive and include the Church, Priest, wedding coordinator, and musician. Please call the church office at 850-234-3266 for additional information.
