Today, students in grades 4 through 8 at St. Bernadette School gathered for a special prayer service and Rosary dedicated to peace.
Led by Father Falco and Mr. David Lowenthal, the service invited students to reflect not only through prayer, but also through their own understanding of what peace truly means.
As part of the experience, several students were asked to share their personal definitions of peace. Their thoughtful responses reflected both maturity and a deep connection to their faith.
“Peace means harmony, union, joy and complete communion with God,” shared Jacob Wasilidas in Grade 7.
For Jack Halsey in Grade 8, peace is rooted in reassurance: “Peace is knowing that everything is going to be okay.”
Caroline Shilinsky in Grade 6 spoke about love and inclusion, saying, “Peace means loving everyone no matter their race, nationality, or beliefs and always loving God.”
Sarah Martins, a Grade 7 student, described peace as “being kind to everyone you meet and having a good sense of calm, especially when it comes from God.”
Elijah Ubaka in Grade 8 offered a thoughtful perspective, defining peace as “freedom from disruption or fear… a state of quiet, order, and harmony with a calm, undisturbed state of mind.”
Through prayer, reflection, and student voice, the service was a meaningful reminder that peace begins within each of us and is strengthened through faith, kindness, and community.

On Thursday, October 2, 2025, the St. Bernadette School community came together to honor National Bring Your Bible to School Day—a special time to celebrate the Word of God and reflect on its importance in our daily lives.
Throughout the day, each class paused for lessons centered on Scripture. Teachers led meaningful discussions and activities that reminded students how the Bible is not only a foundation of our faith, but also a guide for living with kindness, wisdom, and strength. These moments provided students with opportunities to share their own reflections, deepen their understanding, and see how God’s Word connects to their everyday experiences.
A highlight of the celebration was the presentation of new Bibles to our 6th grade and new 7th grade students. This tradition at St. Bernadette is a powerful reminder of how we grow in our faith as we move forward in our educational journey. To mark this milestone, the students gathered together for a Bible Blessing led by Father Ron Falco. With reverence and joy, Father Falco prayed over the Bibles and the young people receiving them, asking God’s blessing upon their study of Scripture and their continued spiritual growth.
This annual event is a cherished tradition at our school, reminding us that the Bible is not just a book we carry, but a living Word that shapes our hearts and guides our lives. Watching students embrace their faith and participate so wholeheartedly was an inspiring moment for teachers, parents, and classmates alike.
At St. Bernadette School, we are grateful to nurture a community where God’s Word is celebrated, honored, and lived out. May these new Bibles serve as a source of light and encouragement for our students in the years ahead.
