Bernadette is a wife, mother and grandmother, and is employed as a dental hygienist.  She is the founder of Preborn Jesus Ministry, which had its inception in 2009 with the promptings of the Holy Spirit. Through the use of beautiful, sacred artwork, the mission of the pro-life apostolate unfolds:

1.  To inspire a devotion to Jesus in the Preborn aspect of His life within the womb of Mary, and

2.  To promulgate a devotion to the Blessed Virgin Mary, His and our Mother, under the title, Ark of The New Covenant.

The sacred artwork, central to the ministry, has been used both nationally and internationally in many pro-life settings, conferences and retreats, and was highlighted in an article in The National Catholic Register.

Bernadette is a member of the Legion of Mary, and is consecrated to Jesus through Mary, according to the True Devotion to Mary taught by St. Louis de Montfort.  It is a great joy for Bernadette to spread a renewed devotion to Mary and honor Jesus and His Mother in the many talks she presents. Bernadette has appeared on EWTN’s Sunday Night Prime and is faithful to God’s call to speak whether with small groups or on speaker circuits like Legatus. She gives all glory to God, who awakened her faith on Good Friday 1991, when her watch stopped at 3:00 p.m., the Hour of Divine Mercy.  In her words, "Sadly, it was a time in my life when I was not living my Catholic faith to the fullest. That 3:00 hour of mercy was a turning point in my life."  Then, on Divine Mercy Sunday 2009, she attended a Divine Mercy celebration in Pittsburgh. She continues, "Who said it, I do not recall, perhaps someone leading the rosary, but the following words resounded through me that day:

"There should be a greater devotion to Jesus within the womb of Mary."
After contemplating that one statement for many days afterwards, through God’s grace, I was given the inspiration to begin Preborn Jesus Ministry.
