Faith and Service are the foundation of our school’s motto to “love one another.” Campus Ministry is a school club that is a vibrant component of this outreach. We empower students to become leaders who embrace the challenges of the world around us with courage and compassion, striving to ensure the dignity of each person, and meeting the needs of their communities with hearts dedicated to service.
Mass is celebrated monthly by our Chaplain, Fr. Joseph Dolan, and Masses are aligned with the Holy Days throughout the year. Each grade level participates in a fun and engaging off-campus retreat experience every year (juniors spend the day at Anna Maria College for their retreat).
Service/Outreach programs:- Music Ministry is a talented group of teachers and students who provide music and lead the singing at all of our services.
- Dynamic speakers talk to the students about living through the Holocaust, mission trips, government service (4 Fitchburg mayors have been STB graduates), and vocations to religious life.

"The one thing I value most about St. Bernards's is the support of Principal Anderson, the teachers and the students. This year, I led The Haitian Outreach Program at our school. Our mission is to collect school supplies and tuition money to give to Haitian children to help get them out of poverty. I was given the opportunity to bring the school together and ask for help for this very important project. The next day, our donation boxes were full of pencils, pens, and backpacks! We also held an out-of-uniform day for $3 per student. The money raised will sponsor a child for 1 year of schooling. The students rallied and enthusiastically participated. We succeeded in sending Flerdy, our Haitian adopted student, to school for another year!" - STB Senior
