Bernie was a tireless servant of the church, devoting countless hours to ensuring everything ran smoothly. Each morning, he would arrive early to open the doors, setting the tone for a day of worship and reflection. Bernie's warm smile and kind words made everyone feel welcome and at home. His meticulous care ensured that the altar was prepared for Mass, the rosary and Chaplet of Divine Mercy were recited with reverence, and everyone felt the peace and joy of being at church.

His unwavering dedication, love for the church, and gentle spirit left a mark on everyone who knew him. His presence will forever be cherished, as he exemplified what it truly means to live a life of faith, service, and compassion.
