I asked this question a while back and everyone who replied said " ber Nards" after speaking to several people who in fact attend St Bernard's church, and one whose husband is the principal at St Bernard's I found that the correct pronunciation is Ber nerds so you nerds are not all that smart!

I didn't answer this question on Yahoo, but I would have said Ber Nards. Thanks for the correction, its strange though that the spelling its the same as the way its said.
Have a nice day
