St. Bernadette's in Ormsby was built around the turn of the century and has always been a mission church.  It was served for many years from Marmora.  St. Bernadette's became a mission of Madoc in 1969.



 

Every week, five minutes before Sunday Mass, John & Maria Dawson ring St. B's church bells to call parishioners to worship. John swings, and Maria counts the bells and watching the stop watch. At last Sunday's final Mass, as John pulled the rope for the final bell toll, he lookwd at Maria and said "Oh, that didnt feel good", and he then looked up into the bell tower and noticed the rope came away from the bell. The final bell, final mass at St. Bernadette's.
