Lenten Reminder
Fridays are days of abstinence from meat. Every day is a fasting day, meaning only one full meal. The quantity of food should be limited at the other two meals.
Make a good confession during Lent The Poor Box is a silent way the parish begs for people in need. Your donation into the poor boxes located at the doors of the church and chapel are used for those who come to the parish in dire need. Some common requests are food, medicine, travel to find work, some sort of unexpected emergency in their lives which they cannot afford.
Please convert your almsgiving for Lent into a gift card from the A&P. These cards can be
dropped off at the rectory or left at Mass with a parish representative (priest, usher, lady of
Charity). Thank you.

Build the Heritage! Saint Barnabas Parish and the Northeast Bronx Deanery hosted a Mass and dinner for the religious men and women who serve the people of our deanery. The Year of Consecrated Life is a call to young men and women to build the heritage of these religious orders. The role of religious Orders is a brick in the Church's foundation on which we all need to build. Parish Personalities: Recently two parishioners received honors for their great work. County Sligo honored Robert O' Leary with their humanitarian award which he really deserves. The NYC Saint Patrick's Parade Committee honored Martin Galvin Sr. As an aide to the Grand Marshal (Cardinal Dolan) in recognition for his hard work with AOH. Orla Kelleher who works within our parish as Director of the Aisling Irish Center was also an aide. We are proud of her too.

PILGRIMAGE TO KNOCK SHRINE IN IRELAND
ITALY CHOIR TRIP
The St. Barnabas Festival Choir is made up of students in grades 4 through 12 from St. Barnabas Elementary, High School and Parish. The High School students from the parish and High School last year took part in the New York High School Choir Festival in Manhattan and did very well. From that venue the choirs have been invited to travel to Rome to sing for Pope Francis. Some highlights of the trip will be singing in the Papal Audience Hall and joining with the Sistine Chapel Choir to sing the Epiphany Mass on January 6, 2016. This is both an honor and a once in a life time opportunity. We currently are the only New York Choir participating. The cost for each student is 3,000 dollars. Our choir will be fundraising to help defer the cost. We currently have several young people who wish to go but are having financial difficulty. If you can help sponsor a child by donating part of all of the cost please contact Sharon Traditi at the High School or Religious Education Office or Shauna Mahoney at the Rectory. Any support you can give our youth is greatly appreciated.
