If you live in Dallas, TX or even in any of the surrounding rural or suburbs, St. Bernard of Clairvaux is a place to send your children! If you're a practicing Catholic and a family of faith in the Catholic Church, even better because this is the school for you!
So, to the class of 2004, this is for you and though we don't have our wall anymore our school is still doing so well and doing so much more for its students and Parish community! They have invested improvements that make it feel so different but the core and shell of the school as well as the church is still the same. I will admit it was sad to see that it was gone especially since I was the person from my 8th grade class who put the design together and had it approved. I also coordinated how everyone would accomplish/finish out their square in the puzzle piece masterpiece.
The school has more nun presence not only for religious aspects but as teachers so it's nice to see. The faith base is more boldly integrated instead of having staff that are respectful educators who are Christian but don't believe in the Catholic teachings and practices. Though the teacher's prior were really great and I loved my years in the school, seeing the changes makes you want to sign up and be a student again!
The Catholic Church is still connected and a quaint worship space, but the renovations that they've done to the surrounding areas and parking is really nice to see as well. My 8th grade class prayer garden is still beautifully kept and well taken care of as well. The clergy for the Parish is a very solid group of men with energy, boldness, joy, and passion for the faith and in teaching the congregation!
If you haven't been to a Mass here or visited, you should!
Sincerely,
A Distinct Woman
