For nearly four decades, St. Bernard Church has raffled a classic car with winners drawn at the annual Summer Social in August. We are known nationwide for our raffle and the vintage, high quality and original Corvettes that we offer each year. This is St. Bernard’s top fundraiser with proceeds benefiting the church, school and preschool.

Half Pot Raffle

Anyone in the Cluster Parishes can participate in this the Half Pot Raffle for only $1 per week. Envelopes can be found in the vestibule at St. Bernard next to the wooden box on the wall. You can play weekly, yearly or any amount in between. Every dollar equals one week of play. If you are a member of St. Bernard, your envelope number is automatically in the drawing each week and all you need to do is pay your dollar to play. If you are a member at St. Martin and would like to participate, call the parish office, a number will be assigned, and then you pay to play. If your number is drawn in a given week and you are actively playing, you win the pot for that week. If your number is drawn and you are not playing, there is no winner and the money will roll over and be added to the next week’s drawing. For more information, contact cluster parishes office at 812-649-4811.
