St. Bernard of Corleone was born on the island of Sicily in 1605.   
His father was a shoemaker and taught his son the way of the trade.   
Upon the demise of his father, Bernard left the shop and took up fencing.

Bernard frequently made devout visits to a crucifix that was highly honored by the people.   
He provided a lamp to be kept burning before it.

In Castronovo Bernard used to go through the streets with a large pot on his shoulders to give minestrone to the poor.
