Cash Collection Ministry

This ministry entails counting the weekend collection once every few weeks. For more details contact the cluster parishes office at 812-649-4811.

Catholic Ministries Appeal (CMA)

The Catholic Ministries Appeal is an annual diocesan financial campaign for both parishes. As Catholic parishes, we belong to the Diocese of Evansville and thus have an obligation to support the work of the entire diocese. For both St. Bernard and St. Martin, we ask parishioners to contribute extra to this campaign via their weekly tithing in the Mass collection.

Fundraisers

Each parish conducts fundraisers and special events throughout the year to help with finances and as a way to come together as a community. CLICK HERE to view fundraisers and special events for both parishes.

Wills and Endowments

St. Bernard Parish has a permanent endowment legacy that will ensure that the parish and the school continue, and that our cemetery is maintained long after we individual parishioners may no longer be here.

  • The St. Bernard Parish Endowment has been started to benefit the general needs of the parish.
  • The St. Bernard School Endowment will be available to assist with the needs of St. Bernard School.
  • The St. Bernard Cemetery Endowment has been established to ensure the perpetual care of the cemetery.

If you would like more information on the current endowments or to establish a new endowment, please contact the cluster parishes office at 812-649-4811.
