July 24th - St. Barnabas Church
SEVENTEENTH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME July 24, 2016 2016 Cardinal’s Stewardship Appeal We Did It!! 485 parishioners pledged payments of $152,000 to this year’s appeal. A sign of a truly charitable parish is its ability to participate in the Cardinal’s Appeal which enables the Archdiocese to provide professional, charitable and educational services to all parishes. For those who pledged payment over time, the Archdiocese will send you reminders. For those who have yet to respond you are still very much welcome to participate even after we reached our goal. Every bit helps. It is a good feeling when a Pastor is able to “close the books” on the Appeal. Thank you ever so much for creating that feeling. Tithing & Stewardship Weekly Goal - $18,000 July 17 $12,007.78 Vacation When you are on vacation it is appropriate to contribute to the basket of the church you are visiting in thanksgiving for its services to you. It is also very important to keep up your regular donations to St. Barnabas. Our bills remain the same, even on vacation time. Please remember to either advance your contribution or make it up when you return. Thank you for your thoughtfulness. Going on Vacation – Why not use Parish Pay? It is a method of sending your weekly donation to the parish via electronics rather than the traditional weekly offertory envelope. (If you use E-Z Pass you know what it is). You can register online or the parish can give you a form to authorize the parish to withdraw donations directly from your bank account or credit card which in turn gets deposited directly into the church account. Advantages are many. Two easy ways to register 1. You simply go to www.parishpay.com and follow the prompts to register yourself 2. You can pick up a registration form at the rectory office and we can do it for you. St. Barnabas parish is planning to implement the second of the three part series of ChristLife. As you may recall, many parishioners attended the first part called Discovering Christ, which drew a lot of interest and was a big success during the Lenten season last year. ChristLife is partnering with the Archdiocese of New York for the training on the final two steps of the ChristLife evangelization process: Following Christ and Sharing Christ. The training will be Saturday, August 20th at St. Joseph’s Seminary, 201 Seminary Avenue, from 8:30am to 5:30 pm. If anyone who attended Discovering Christ would like to attend this training and be part of the parish’s evangelization team, please contact the rectory at (718) 324-1478 by Friday, August 12th . ALL ARE INVITED THIS WEEKEND! As Monsignor Barry prepares to go on to his new assignment, all parishioners are cordially invited to join him in the High School Cafeteria either following the Saturday 5:00pm Mass OR on Sunday, following the 11:45am Mass for a quick goodbye. Light refreshments will be served on both days. MASSES FOR THE WEEK BETHLEHEM HANDICRAFTS From Bethlehem, the birthplace of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Christian community is seeking your love and support through obtaining their handmade olive wood religious articles. These items will be displayed at the church after all Masses THIS WEEKEND. Your help can and will make a difference in the lives of your Brothers and Sisters in Christ in Bethlehem.
