On October 3, 2020, St. Bernard Parish officially launched the public phase of its "Moving Forward in Faith" Capital Campaign. Aimed at funding essential repairs to the exterior of the building, the goal of this campaign is to make all repairs to ensure the building's life and success for the next 20-50 years! Please see the links to the left for updates on the progress of the restoration work and for information on the fundraising events. See below to make a pledge or contribution and view the full Concert Series lineup.

We are more than halfway to our $1.5 Million goal to fund the restoration efforts! We will host a concert once per week from November 15 until January 2 at St. Bernard as a way to increase awareness of our campaign and earn contributions and pledges.
