Bulletin” after each Mass!
“Active” membership at a Parish enables a person to be eligible to sponsor a child for Baptism, to receive financial aid for Catholic Education, to be married in the Parish and to prepare one’s children for the Sacraments. To be an “active” member is to participate in the life of prayer and stewardship in the Parish. All adults over the age of 21, living with their parents or on their own, must register in the Parish to be considered members. The use of the offering envelopes, or through our online donation system Faith Direct, may also help you to qualify for tax incentives. Participating in one or more of the ministries offered by the Parish is proof of the sharing of time and talent for the greater good of our Church Community. Stop by the Parish Office to pick up a form, or print one from our website at www.stbarnabaslb.org. Welcome to St. Barnabas!!!

First Reading — Jesus tells the disciples that they will be witnesses to the ends of the earth (Acts 1:1-11).
Psalm — God mounts his throne to shouts of joy: a blare of trumpets for the Lord (Psalm 47).
Second Reading — May the Father of glory give you a Spirit of wisdom and revelation (Ephesians 1:17-23).
Our Parish has initiated a new program for children: “Pennies for the Poor.” The purpose is to teach the children the joy of giving back to God out of gratitude for all that God has given to
them. We invite all our children to prayerfully consider collecting any loose changes (ie. coins, bills), and at each Sunday mass, during the Offertory, they will be invited to come to the altar to place their gifts in a special basket placed in front of the Altar. This collection will be towards supporting the poor and orphan children for their various needs. For more info, contact the Parish Office.

St. Barnabas School News SCHOOL ENROLLMENT Please inquire to the school office for more information about registration for the 2017-2018 school year. For more information on St. Barnabas School’s upcoming events visit www.school.stbarnabaslb.org. The school, mindful of its mission to be a witness to the love of Christ for all, admits students regardless of race, color or national and/or ethnic origin to all rights, privileges, programs and activities generally accorded or made available at the school. The school does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, disability, sex or national and/or ethnic origin in the administration of educational policies, admissions policies, scholarship and loan programs, and athletic and other school-administered programs, although certain athletic leagues and other programs may limit participation and some archdiocesan schools operate as single sex schools. While the school does not discriminate against students with special needs, a full range of services may not always be available to them. Decisions concerning the admission and continued enrollment of a student in the school are based upon the student’s emotional, academic and physical abilities and the resources available to the school in meeting the student’s needs.
