His Excellency Bishop Lopes paid us a visit last month to celebrate Mass and provide a final judgement on our Chili Cook-off. May God continue to bless him and all God's people under his care!

If you can still make it on short notice, we are celebrating Mass at 6:30 PM today to thank Almighty God for the reception of St. Barnabas into full communion with the Catholic Church!

Please pray for Church Unity!

Happy Barnabas Day!

While today is the memorial of Saint Barnabas on the general calendar, we will celebrate our titular feast day again on Sunday at 9:30 AM!

Fun Fact: This icon can be found at the back of Saint Barnabas Catholic Church's nave; it was written for the parish as a gift.

Happy Pentecost!

This is one of the beautiful stain glass windows that can be found at Saint Barnabas. Please pray for us, as we will need to raise significant funds soon for maintenance - these are the work of C. E Kempe and Co. and are as old as the building itself!

The "Veni Creator Spritus"

Come, Holy Ghost, our souls inspire,
and lighten with celestial fire;
thou the anointing Spirit art,
who dost thy sevenfold gifts impart:

Thy blessèd unction from above
is comfort, life, and fire of love;
enable with perpetual light
the dullness of our blinded sight:

Anoint and cheer our soiled face
with the abundance of thy grace:
keep far our foes, give peace at home;
where thou art guide no ill can come.

Teach us to know the Father, Son,
and thee, of both, to be but One;
that through the ages all along
this may be our endless song,

Praise to thy eternal merit,
Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Amen.

The article is a worthwhile read.

Fr. Peter Stravinskas: Pentecost is the birthday of the Church. We look to Mary, knowing the Spirit will do for us what he did for her.

Come, Holy Spirit, fill the hearts of your faithful and kindle in them the fire of your love. Please join us for Whitsunday. Fr Rob will be the celebrant this week.
