St. Bernard of Clairvaux 'Sanctity of Life' Ministry

08/25/2026

As a Sanctity of Life ministry, our love for the children of God extends from conception until natural death, and knows no end. Please join us in supporting wonderful organizations like St. Vincent de Paul who are on the front lines for those experiencing critical need insecurities, including safe shelter and water in Arizona's extreme heat.

How to give: (602) 254-3338 (SVDP, Phx)
Monetary donations can also be left at our parish office.

* This week- end, our St. Bernard of Clairvaux St. Vincent de Paul Conference will be collecting financial donations before and after Mass, and donations of travel-sized toiletry items for the homeless. Please support this important ministry!

As we offer prayer and sacrifice during these warm summer months, let us come together in support of God's will for the sanctity of life!

Fatima Rosary for Life (7-13-26 / 9:30am) / in the Church

Thursday mornings on the sidewalk (Thursdays / 10:30am) / on the Sidewalk (on Baseline) in front of Planned Parenthood, Tempe.
Note: During the summer fewer prayer warriors are on the sidewalk - and our prayers are needed more than ever. If the heat doesn't bother you, please bring some water, an umbrella or hat and your favorite rosary to dedicate a holy hour for life!

40 Days for Life / 365 (Thursdays / 9:30am) / in the Church

Holy Hour for Life (7-17-26 / 9:30am) / in the Church

July break: Our Sanctity of Life Ministry is on 'summer break' for the month of July ...but that doesn't mean we aren't working on projects and defending the sanctity of life. It does mean that we won't hold a formal meeting in July. Please join us for our next SOL meeting on Wednesday, August 19th @ 1pm in the Old Parish Hall. We have an exciting year planned - join us!

God bless you, and thank you for supporting the St. Bernard of Clairvaux sanctity of life ministry!

Fathers, thank you for your ‘yes’!

When the world says “end it,” a father can say: “We will love this child. No matter what.” ​
​
Some of the most important fatherhood moments happen under pressure. Your courage can change everything. ​

Happy Mother’s Day to all of our incredible mothers from St. Bernard of Clairvaux Parish!

Thank you for all that you do, seen and unseen. Your devotion, guidance, and sacrificial love mirrors Christ’s own care for His Church. You pour yourselves out so that others might flourish, and we are forever grateful.

Thoughts about Mothers on this special day:

“I have no greater joy than to hear that my children are walking in the truth.”
– 3 John 1:4

“The loveliest masterpiece of the heart of God is the heart of a mother.”
– St. Thérèse of Lisieux (1873-1897)

“The most important person on earth is a mother... She has built something more magnificent than any cathedral—a dwelling for an immortal soul.”
– Cardinal József Mindszenty (1892-1975)

May Our Lady, under whose mantle we place our parish, intercede for you and fill your hearts with love, peace and joy; today and always.

The mothers raising the next generation of our Church ⛪.

Those who act as spiritual mothers and mentors 🕊.

Those who are grieving or longing for motherhood 🙏.

The mothers who have gone before us and now rest in God's peace 😇.

May the Blessed Mother wrap you all in her mantle of love ❤️ today. Happy Mother’s Day 💐!
