The Stations of the Cross is one of the most simple, yet powerful, ways to prayerfully walk alongside Jesus during this most sacred time of the year.
There are fourteen Stations of the Cross. Each is an invitation to contemplate and experience a pivotal moment from Jesus’ sentencing to his death and burial. They are a powerful way to step into some of the most significant moments in our faith and encounter Jesus like never before.
We invite you to join us for Stations of the Cross during our Lenten Season. The Stations of the Cross will be held on the following Fridays during Lent:
March 15th at 7:00 PM
March 22nd at 6:30 PM
March 29th at 3:00 PM (Good Friday)

Welcome to the website of Corpus Christi - St. Bernard Parish (a Roman Catholic faith community) in the 'Garden City' of Newton. Our parish, living and thriving here on the western edge of our city, provides much to our parishioners and those outside of that description - all by the grace and life of God our Father and in the name of His Son, our Lord Jesus Christ.
Our beautiful and reverent celebrations of the Mass on Sunday are made more so by the faithful and active participation of all present. The Mass's daily and Sunday celebrations provide an oasis of grace and faith for many parishioners and those who visit. Eucharistic Adoration offers a moment of silence with the Lord and enables us to hear the voice of our Shepherd. Through the Eucharist, we can accomplish the other works of service and mercy that so define our Catholic tradition.
Each day, through the grace of Christ, we try to build this holy place of Corpus Christi-St. Bernard into a monument of what it means to be prayerfully and generously worthy of the promises of Christ-all in the middle of a public square, often alive with voices calling folks elsewhere. As you navigate these pages, please know that our parish community welcomes and prays for you.
Blessings,
Fr. Dan O'Connell
Pastor

A spirit of giving supports the work of our Mission Partners in our community and beyond. Primarily, we focus on Corpus Christi-St. Bernard and the events we hold. From time to time, we may partner with other organizations as needs arise and as we deem appropriate. In this way, the mission of Jesus Christ is nurtured and kept alive.

Fifth Sunday of Lent
This week's readings invite us to share the images of covenant and grain. They focus on themes of redemption, forgiveness, and renewal. They remind us of the transformative power of God's mercy. When we live each day remembering His invitation to His Covenant of Love and reflecting on our need to die to self for daily renewal and conversion, we find ourselves filled with a certain confidence and resolve. We are encouraged to embrace change and draw closer to God's heart.

CatholicTV strives to share the Gospel of Jesus Christ and the fullness of Catholic Tradition through TV and new media. The Network does this first and foremost through the daily broadcast of the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass. Their 24/7 channel also provides other prayerful, educational, and inspirational programming.
St. Bernard of Clairvaux is the patron saint of the Cistercians. You can ask for his prayers if you are a Cistercian or are discerning a vocation to the Cistercians. You can also ask for his prayers on behalf of a Cistercian you know.
St. Bernard is also the patron saint of beekeepers and candle makers. You can seek his intercession if you are a beekeeper or a candle maker, or for a beekeeper or candle maker you know.
In addition, St. Bernard is the patron saint of Gibraltar and the city of Algeciras, so you can definitely seek his prayers if you live in Gibraltar or Algeciras.
You can pray the St. Bernard of Clairvaux Novena for any intention!
