Welcome!
Welcome to St. Bernard Catholic Church. We are a Roman Catholic parish belonging to the Diocese of Harrisburg. We are located in New Bloomfield, Pennsylvania (Perry County) and are about 40 minutes north of Harrisburg, Camp Hill, Mechanicsburg, and Carlisle.
We are currently following our winter Mass schedule, so Masses are celebrated Saturday at 5:00 PM and Sunday at 8:00 & 10:30 AM. Daily Mass is celebrated Tuesday-Friday at 8:00 AM, unless stated otherwise. Confessions are heard one hour prior to each weekend Mass, by appointment or by request. Recordings of Mass are being posted to our parish Facebook page. If you cannot make it to church in person during this time, please consider participating online.
Will you consider joining us for Mass this weekend? All are welcome at St. Bernard’s!
