I will give you the keys to the kingdom of

heaven.

Take home some fun in God’s Word, grab a copy of “The Kids’

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!!!
