Since it was founded in 1907, Saint Bernard Parish has been a religious and social focus of neighborhood life on the east side. This imposing church building was erected during a decade of heavy construction activity among Madison’s religious institutions, much of which was directed toward serving the rapidly growing suburbs. The native sandstone structure was the largest Catholic Church in the city when it was built. The architect, John Flad, designed many Catholic Churches throughout the Midwest.
Designated a Madison Landmark on March 16, 1981

Features:
This DVD study series is presented by Father Robert Barron, an acclaimed author, speaker, and theologian. In this series, he talks about how sin separates us from the love of God; however, the cultivation of virtue can restore a right relationship with Him. This study is a basis for a reflective, yet practical, assessment of our lives. The Seven Deadly Sins are patterns of dysfunction that lead to unhappiness. The Seven Lively Virtues offer antidotes to each sin and help set us on the right path to healing and happiness. Father Barron offers practical solutions we can adopt to strengthen our virtues and turn away from sin.
