Dear St. Bernard Community,Word must be out...I'm getting

bombarded by travel agents who seem to know I do an international pilgrimage every other year. Well, I learned that my Holy Land agents, AMiTravel, have a Marian Pilgrimage that I'm considering for 2018. Let me know if you'd be interested: Portugal, Spain, and France. 12 days devoted to the Blessed Mother: Fatima, Montserrat, Zaragoza, and Lourdes with tours of Lisbon, Santiago de Compostela, Loyola, Barcelona, and of course my regular hangouts. Let me know and I'll explore a price.

NEXT SUNDAY ONLY - Mass at St. Mary's will be at 11:00am since Fr. Frank is in WV for the Jamboree with the Boy Scouts of America.

Space is still available for the Pilgrimage to the Shrine of Our Lady of Consolation in Carey, OH.The cost is only $40 per person and includes dinner and gratuities. Read more in the ad above.
