We are saddened to announce the death of Rev. Michael Berner (January 9, 1960 – April 11, 2025). A Vigil Prayer Service will be held Tuesday, April 22 at 6:00 PM with a visitation to follow until 8:00 PM. A Mass of Christian Burial will be held the following Wednesday, April 23 at 11:00 AM. Both services will be held at St. Patrick Catholic Church 4 Valley View Drive Council Bluffs, IA 51503. Since his ordination in 1986, he has touched the lives of many of our parishioners and those in southwest Iowa. We pray the Lord will grant him eternal rest, and let perpetual light shine upon him.
