St Bernard's Catholic Church

About this church

St. Bernard Catholic Church in Ellsworth, Kansas, holds Sunday Mass at 10 a.m. at 911 N. Kansas Ave. Confessions are offered Sunday morning starting at 9 a.m., or by request. The parish shares its website and ministry with two neighboring congregations: St. Ignatius in Kanopolis, which has Mass Saturday at 5:30 p.m., and St. Joseph in Brookville, which has Mass Sunday at 8 a.m. Visitors who cannot make the Sunday 10 a.m. Mass may find one of those times easier, though it is best to confirm times on the website before visiting.

The Youth Faith Formation program begins with first grade and meets in the evening from 6:30 to 7:30 p.m. Students are dropped off at the east YFF door, and parents pick up younger children in the Pioneer Room. Teens can take part in the Teen Faith Group and CYO. Adults can join adult religious education, and OCIA is available for anyone who wants to become Catholic or complete the sacraments. Parish groups include the Knights of Columbus, CCW, an Altar Society, and a prayer chain. Parishioners can serve as lectors, cantors, choir members, ushers, greeters, gift bearers, Eucharistic ministers, or altar servers. The website offers new parishioner registration, online giving, and weekly bulletins. The parish office can be reached at 785-472-3136.
