Women of all ages are welcome to join our “Women at the Well” group. We meet weekly on Monday mornings between 10:15-11:15am on Zoom. This Lent we will be 'Walking with Mary to Jerusalem' using the Ascension Lenten Companion to guide us.

God made us for community, to share His love, so this is also a time for laughter, friendship, support, encouragement and spiritual growth.

Please join us in praying the Rosary of the Blessed Virgin Mary on Mondays at 7 pm (St. Bernard's Church).

On the first Monday of every month, the Rosary is prayed before the Blessed Sacrament in Adoration.

The traditional monastic practice of Lectio Divina (Latin for “holy/divine reading”) provides a way to enter into Sacred Scripture as a living Word for our time. Lectio Divina becomes more about divine listening than divine reading when we take the time to do it. This is why we pray Lectio Divina — to become better listeners of the Lord, to hear more clearly what God is asking of us - opening ourselves to peace, gratitude, and living rooted in Christ.

How can Saints speak to us in our own life situations today, become our friends, and help us to deepen our faith? How can their example and words truly draw us closer to God? These questions form the foundation of our new ESM open small group: Wisdom of the Saints.

On the third Friday of each month, we meet in-person to focus on the life and writings of one great Saint. Group discussions provide an opportunity to reflect on the Saint’s message to us as we walk our personal  journey of faith. St. Maximilian Kolbe will be the first Saint we meet.

Time/location: 6:30 - 8:00 PM at St. Bernhard's church, parish hall's small basement lounge.

The Family of Faith group will meet on the 3rd Sunday of the month September through June after 11 am Mass in the parish hall for their family catechesis. Participation in this program is by registration only.

Please contact Anne Fonseca to register for the next schoolyear (2026-2027).

Please join us for the meeting of the Christian Literary Club on Friday,  January 23rd, 2026 at 19:30 h.

Friday Mass will be celebrated at St. Bernard's on the first Friday of the month, followed by silent Eucharistic Adoration until -until Midnight. Please email esmfaith@gmail.com if you wish to commit to a particular time.

First Fridays are traditionally dedicated to the devotion to the Sacred Heart of Jesus.
