  • SOCIETY OF ST. VINCENT DE PAUL

    Society of St. Vincent de Paul Helpline Could Use Your Help! 


    What would you do if you were about to be evicted from your home…or you’d received notice that your gas, water, or electric utility service was going to be shut off? What if you had no savings, couldn’t feed your family, and had no safety net to help you through these difficult times? What if the prospect of falling into homelessness seemed like your only choice? 


    These scenarios describe individuals and families that the Society of St. Vincent de Paul Omaha serves every day of the year, which is why we offer our SSVP Helpline. 


    The Helpline is an easy-to-use, one-stop, online service for  Omaha-area neighbors in need. 


    Here, they can inquire into, and request material or financial assistance from SSVP Omaha. 


    The SSVP Helpline is staffed by volunteers who provide a caring and compassionate response to neighbors in need who may be experiencing the most difficult and turbulent time in their entire lives. 


    If you are interested in becoming an SSVP Helpline volunteer, please be in touch with Kristina Janousek at 402-779-8499,  ext. 107, or email Kristina at conferencesupport@ssvpomaha.org.

  • 51ST ANNUAL ST. BERNADETTE PASTA DINNER - SUNDAY, FEB. 22

    What a beautiful afternoon at the 51st Annual St. Bernadette Men's Club Pasta Dinner — a cherished tradition that once again brought our parish family together for delicious food and wonderful fellowship.


    From plates piled high with pasta, red sauce, meatballs and Italian sausage to delicious desserts baked by the Altar Society, raffle prizes and the always-popular meat wheel — it was a day full of food, fellowship and fun. 


    A heartfelt THANK YOU to our incredible volunteers working behind the scenes: the pasta crew in the kitchen, food line servers, salad-makers, to-go meal assemblers, tray assistants, dessert ladies, ticket takers, cashiers, bussers and the table reset crew. Many hands truly make light work. We couldn’t do this without you!

Parish Family Calendar


HOLY GHOST & ST. BERNADETTE

Welcome to our parish family!


We are a Parish Family inviting others home to discover, live and share the redeeming love of Jesus.


Every member of our parish family has come with a calling. To bring love and faith, to heal and to listen, to find meaning in the world and to help discover meaning in this gift of life. Our calling is your calling. We are one with the Lord.


As a Parish Family who have a “shared catholic identity,” like all families, we strive to nurture an environment where everyone feels embraced by genuine care, support and love.


This spiritual Parish Family becomes a reality when we:

  • accept and value each other right as we are and encourage each other on our journey of faith
  • gather together and create meaningful relationships
  • care for and support each other in good times and difficult times.
  • make time to pray with others and for others
  • welcome and care for one another as brothers and sisters in Christ.
  • create opportunities where we can learn about our faith and grow together toward common spiritual goals.

PRAYER FOR OUR PARISH FAMILY'S MISSION



Heavenly Father,


We thank you for bringing us together as a parish family, united in your love. We believe the love of Jesus has changed our lives and can change the lives of others. Help us to live out our mission of inviting others home to discover, live, and share the redeeming love of Jesus.


May our community be a place where all feel welcome, where discipleship grows, and where your love is freely shared. Guide us as we walk together in faith, sharing Your hope with those around us.


Empower us through the Eucharist to reflect Your love in everything we do.


In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
