San Bernardo Catholic Church
San Bernardo is a peaceful Catholic church in the heart of Kralendijk. It’s one of the island’s oldest churches and still an active gathering place for the local Catholic community. The building itself is simple but charming, with colorful touches and an open, airy feel that fits perfectly with Bonaire’s easygoing atmosphere. Visitors often step inside for a quiet moment or to admire the traditional Caribbean-style architecture. Mass is held in Papiamentu and Dutch, and everyone is welcome to sit in, whether you’re attending a service or just passing by.
