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.

“As a Eucharistic Parish in the Catholic Tradition, formed by Gospel Faith in the Lordship of Jesus, we are called by the Holy Spirit to build the Body of Christ through prayer, evangelization, teaching, and loving service to our neighbor, and through Word and Sacrament in worship of God as we await the return of our Savior.”

Celebrating 75 Years
