Welcome to Saint Bernard Catholic Church
Located at 735 Derby Avenue in Cincinnati, Ohio, Saint Bernard Catholic Church has been a cornerstone of faith and community for over a century. As part of the Our Lady of Divine Providence Family of Parishes within the Archdiocese of Cincinnati, we are committed to spreading the Gospel and serving our community with love and dedication.
Our Community
Saint Bernard Parish is a welcoming Catholic community that celebrates the Eucharist in an intimate, spirit-filled setting. Our parish is part of a family of six parishes, including Assumption, Mother of Christ, St. Bartholomew, St. Clare, and St. Vivian, all under the guidance of one pastor. We foster lay participation and leadership, encouraging our members to share generously of their time, talents, and financial support to address the spiritual and material needs of all.
Our Mission
Guided by Gospel values, we strive to promote justice within ourselves, our church, our community, and society. Our commitment to faith is unwavering as we work together to create a nurturing environment for spiritual growth and community engagement.

Reviews
"St Bernard Church is an exceptional place to celebrate our God's love for all of us. After 20 years of sharing liturgy, life, and deep friendships, I can't imagine worshipping anywhere else. No one sleeps through church here! Vibrant music and inspiring homilists. Come give us a chance to welcome you."
"People are nice and friendly, but why the BLM sign still posted right in front of the church? This corrupt and divisive organization should not be endorsed by the Catholic church. But, the sign gives a signal to those going in... unorthodox social justice warriors inside."
"St. Bernard is a small church community with a very big heart. I have been attending mass at St. Bernard for a couple years, and I have always felt welcomed. They go out of their way to make newcomers feel at home, and have extended this welcome to the Hispanic community in the area for many years. The church and the church community remind me of my childhood church community back home in Panamá. I feel blessed to have found St. Bernard."
"My husband and I have been parishioners since 1980. The church building is cozy and welcoming and it has a mighty congregation. Members are involved in all aspects of vibrant ministries: music, prayer, social justice, ministry to neighbors in need and so much more. This little parish has more good stuff going on than many larger parishes. Your presence would be welcome."
"My family are long time parishioners of this little church. It is a wonderful place to explore community, faith, and volunteering. We welcome everyone as apart of the St. Bernard's family. There is a lot of history and a lot of heart in this place and we hope to share that with the community at large."
