Spend an Hour with Our Lord
Our Adoration Chapel is open Monday through Friday 9 am to 10 pm. If you would like to be an adorer, please visit stbarnabas.weadorehim.com to register.
Friendly reminder to set your clocks back one hour before you go to bed Saturday so that you show up for Mass on Sunday at the correct time
All Saints Day, a holy day of obligation, is always on November 1st and honors all of the saints in heaven, those canonized and those whose holiness is known only to God.
In 2026, it falls on a Sunday so attending your regular Sunday Mass fulfills the obligation.
As Catholics, we thank God for the example of the saints and ask for their intercession.

DEADLINE EXTENDED TO NOVEMBER 4TH
October is Respect Life Month, a time when we reaffirm the inherent dignity of every human person, created in the image and likeness of God. Respecting life calls us not only to defend life from conception to natural death, but also to accompany those who struggle with poverty, hunger, homelessness, and marginalization.
As Catholics, we are called to recognize Christ in the poor and vulnerable and to work for a society where every person can flourish. In his message for the 2026 World Day of the Poor, Pope Leo XIV reminds us that "The Lord is the refuge of the poor" and challenges Christians not only to seek refuge in God, but also "to be a refuge for the poor."
To deepen our understanding of the realities faced by so many of our brothers and sisters, Catholic Charities- Social Concerns and St. Vincent dePaul invite you to participate in a Poverty Simulation on Saturday, November 7, beginning at 1:00 p.m at St. Barnabas, in the school gym. This interactive experience helps participants encounter the daily challenges of families living in poverty and reflect on our Gospel call to uphold the dignity of every human life. As Pope Leo XIV observes,"The poor of our day are the forgotten and the marginalized: robbed not only of bread, but also of a voice and a face."
Through this simulation, we are invited to see, hear, and respond to those often overlooked in our communities, putting our faith into action through greater compassion, justice, and solidarity. The experience will conclude with the celebration of Mass at 5:00 p.m., where we will gather as one Body in Christ to pray for and with those who are poor and vulnerable.
Date: Saturday, November 7
Time: 1:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. (followed by Mass at 5:00 p.m.)
Location: St. Barnabas School Gym (sign-in in the atrium)
