Parishioners of Holy Ghost and St. Bernadette Catholic Churches came together Aug. 9-10 for a weekend filled with fellowship, food and celebration. The gatherings marked the first weekend of Masses for both parishes at Holy Ghost Church while St. Bernadette undergoes renovations.

The festivities began Saturday evening, Aug. 9, following the 5 p.m. Mass with a Wine and Charcuterie Party in the Holy Ghost Parish Social Hall. Guests enjoyed an array of crackers, meats, cheeses, fruit and other snacks provided by Charcuterie Creations. The wine and other beverages were provided by Cornhusker Beverage.

The event, organized by the Holy Ghost & St. Bernadette Hospitality Team, offered parishioners an opportunity to connect, share stories and celebrate the start of this new worship arrangement.

On Sunday morning, Aug. 10, after the 9 a.m. and 11 a.m. Masses, parishioners gathered again for a breakfast party in the Parish Social Hall. The spread included cinnamon rolls, coffee, juice, pastries and charcuterie-style snacks. The warm, welcoming atmosphere allowed parishioners of all ages to enjoy time together and strengthen the bonds between the two faith communities.

We would like to thank the Holy Ghost & St. Bernadette Hospitality Team for their dedication in planning and hosting the weekend’s events.

This was more than just sharing a meal—it was a chance to celebrate our unity as one community during this transition. We look forward to many more moments like this in the months ahead.
