Divine Mercy Academy

St. Bernadette School offers a complete, Christ-centered education from preschool through 8th grade.
We are a strong community of teachers, parents and students working together to achieve excellence in education and a strong faith identity.
St. Bernadette School is located in the Eastern Suburbs of Pittsburgh, serving Monroeville and the surrounding communities in the Allegheny and Westmoreland counties.
We, the Catholic Community of St. Bernadette, are called by the Father in a covenant of love to form the family of God.
We respond to this call by following Jesus' example: opening our hearts, sharing our gifts, and serving one another.
Central to this response is our commitment to praise and worship our loving God, most especially in the celebration of the Holy Eucharist.
Through the Holy Spirit, our community continues to grow in holiness.
We seek to instill the Spirit of God within each other by listening to the Word of God, living it, and acting to fulfill it.
All members share the responsibility of discipleship according to their gifts and talents and the needs of the parish community.
We are committed to fulfill this mission by communicating God's unconditional love to all people.
