St. Bernadette Comments
On April 16, 1879, Bernadette -- or Sister Marie-Bernard, as she was known within her order -- died in the Sainte Croix (Holy Cross) Infirmary of the Convent of Saint-Gildard. She was thirty-five. Born into a humble family which little by little fell into extreme poverty, Bernadette had always been a frail child. Quite young, she had already suffered from digestive trouble, then after having just escaped being a victim of the cholera epidemic ... Continue Reading

St. Bernadette is one of my favourite saints. I am using her name as my confermation name. My birthday is also on her feast day. She is so amazing!
This brings back memories for me. If I remember correctly, it was about 29 years ago that I chose St. Bernadette as my confirmation name. I love her story, and I remember writing a report on her prior to my confirmation as well. I often wish I could get to Lourdes.
she sounds wonderfully interesting,and a little like st. Germaine Cousin who i just read about.
St. Bernadette is the The greatest saint in the world ,and i love her very much , that i may choose her for my confirmation name. since she is the patron of people sick or have illness, well, me being autistic, i have a very weak immune system and i get sick easily then normal people do. i heard about her at the age of 12,when i saw my first movie about her on EWTN,the story was very insipiring. i love you,st.bernadette, please pray for me.
I watched the video with children with clefs and if there is anything I can do to help let me know please
Very good site and article. A few suggestions though. I need to cite my sources for my report. A good thing would be to put the author, date this article was written, and the publisher of the site (more than just Catholic Online). Thank you for the information.
I luv this saint! when i first saw pictures, i was amazed!
St Bernadatte talks about seeing Virgin Mary and yet there are so many Christians (non-Catholics) out there who opposes us adoring and praying to Mary.
I am honestly deeply disturbed. Mary is Jesus's mother. Without Mary, who is Jesus? She is God's chosen one! Jesus died for us on the cross, shouldn't we honor His mother's suffering - the sadness to see her son die for all of us?
this article really helped with my report I love St.Bernadette she inspires me to be tolerant and patient as she always was never seeking publicity or fame I wish to be like her some day I am choosing her for my confirmation saint and St.bernadette please keep me and my family in your prayers God bless!!!

I am making my confirmation soon, so I am picking her!!! She is my patron Saint!! I own the movie about her, but I needed more info. about her for my Saint Project! Thank you for making my life a little easier! God Bless Everyone who reads this!!!! <3 :)
i think she is a awesome saint!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
My mother recently passed away, amoung her things was this necklace with a charm . St-Bernadette. I now wear it, It helps me feel closer to her. My mother was a retired school teacher. People wear and pray to different saints. Some saints protect the traveler, police officers wear St-Michael I believe... Why would my mom have worn St-Bernadette? Does anyone have any insight for me ?
Mike.
Awesome!
this site has given me facts for my revision on Lourdes thanks. =)
This was very helpful to us. We did a project on her and we got all the info that we needed:)
