URGENT: DO NOT RESPOND to Phishing Scams Pretending to be Fr. Rust
- Always check the email address of our priests and Saint Bernadette Staff. If it does not end with stb2008.org, it is NOT official.
- The first SCAM email will probably sound innocuous - "do you have a moment to talk?", but then the 2nd SCAM email will ask for gift cards.
- Our priests/staff will never text or email you asking, “Please let me know if you’re available. I have a task I’d like you to handle.” or to ask you to purchase gift cards for them.
- If in doubt, always call the parish office at 425-2210.
- Please also mark the email as a scam and send it to junk
Join us for food and fellowship after all Masses this weekend!
