Reliquary of St. Bernadette U.S. Tour 2022 - Coming to Great Falls
In Bishop Warfel’s April 2022 memo, he announced the Relics of St. Bernadette Soubirous coming to Great Falls on June 22. This is truly an honor and a blessing to have these precious relics coming to our city. We need your help informing people of this once in a life time opportunity. Great Falls is the closest location for people in Washington to see the relics!

Respect in church includes striving to develop and maintain a prayerful atmosphere, and being ever mindful of how we may be disturbing others. Respect in church also includes not chewing gum, nor wearing boots loaded with mud, or walking in and out of church during the service, unless for an emergency. If one arrives late one waits until a break in the service (for example, after a reading) before seating oneself. If illness requires one to excuse oneself from the assembly, that is another matter, and is fitting by way of real need. Cell phones should be turned off or placed in vibration mode before services begin.
