The Pastor’s Mutterings
The parable of the Good Samaritan is the story of a mugging. A man
traveling a lonely road was beaten and robbed by a band of thieves. Although
Jesus told this story almost two-thousand years ago, it is as up-to-date as the
evening news, with only the names and places having changed.
It is unlikely that any of us has ever beaten and robbed another person, and
few of us have ever seen an injured person lying by the roadside, much less leave
him there and go on our way. But I wonder if it is possible to see a little bit of
ourselves in the behavior patterns of the priest or Levite in the parable. Are there
moments when, because or busyness, or tiredness, we justify our inaction or excuse
ourselves from taking initiative or responsibility? “I don't have time to play with the kids, or visit my elderly parents, or
shop for my sick neighbor, and what difference would getting involved in community issues make anyway?”
There was one other traveler on that road that day. He was a Samaritan, to Jews a member of an inferior and
despised race. What he did in Jesus' parable was of no earth-shaking consequence. He didn't solve the crime
problem. He didn't eliminate racial and religious hatred – to this day the road to Jericho is a place where Jews and
Palestinians glare at each other. All he did was take a little time out of his day, and a little money out of his pocket,
to help a fellow human being who was in need. He chose to be a part of the answer instead of a part of the
problem. That same option is open to you and me.
You say the little efforts that I make will do no good;
they never will prevail to tip the hovering scale
where justice hangs in balance.
I don't think I ever thought they would.
But I am prejudiced beyond debate
in favor of my right to choose which side
shall feel the stubborn ounces of my weight.
Bonaro Overstreet, “Stubborn Ounces” from “Hands Laid Upon the Wind”
We are better
TOGETHER
Administration
We are continually reminded of the selflessness of our St. Barnabas
community who continue to support the parish through the gifts of time,
talent, and treasure. As we reflect on how far we’ve come, in such a short time,
with the Imagine. Innovate. Inspire. Campaign, we are overwhelmed and thankful for the generosity of each and every one of our parishioners.
•
•
•
To date the campaign has secured pledges and gifts totaling $2,038,765
We have received pledges and gifts from 297 parish and school families
or 18% of the parish
We are 68% of the way to reaching $3 million of our $5 million total goal
St. Barnabas has a long history of sacrificial giving, not only in terms of treasure, but also in prayer and ministry.
To continue our generous spirit of giving, we ask that you prayerfully consider a gift that is meaningful to you. If we
continue to come together, as one united faith community, to accomplish the vital work of our parish, we will be successful in reaching our goals. It is our responsibility to be good stewards of our blessings and preserve them for future
members of our church and school.
If you have yet to make your gift to the Imagine. Innovate. Inspire. Campaign, please contact Monica Wilczak,
Director of Development, [email protected] or call 773-779-1166, ext. 242 for information on how to
make your commitment. Thank you for graciously accepting this opportunity to serve as good stewards of God’s abundant blessings.
Sirach 35:7-11 – “For all that you offer is in fulfillment of the commandment. The offering of the righteous enriches the
altar, and its pleasing odor rises before the Most High. The sacrifice of the righteous is acceptable, and it will never
be forgotten. Be generous when you worship the Lord, and do not stint the first fruits of your hands. With every gift
show a cheerful face, and dedicate your tithe with gladness.”
Education
CHILDREN’S LITURGY OF THE WORD –
The Children’s Liturgy of the Word Ministry (CLOW) is on it’s summer break. There will be no
Children’s Liturgy at 10 am Mass during the summer. CLOW will resume after Labor Day, on
Sunday, September 11th and be held at the 10:00 a.m. Mass each Sunday thereafter.
We especially wish to thank this year’s CLOW leaders: Tom & Catherine Brady, Maura & Sean
Barron, Hannah & Karen Lux, Andy & Cindy Neu, Maureen Gainer Reilly, Penelope Robbins, and Margaret Smith.
CLOW serves children, ages ~4 yrs. – 7 yrs., by breaking open the Sunday Scriptures with/for them at their level of
understanding. The children hear a simpler version of the readings from a Children’s Lectionary, approved by the U.S.
Bishops. CLOW also of benefits parents: relieved from the task of keeping squirming children quiet and attentive
during Mass, parents are able to focus more attentively on the Liturgy of the Word in peace knowing that their
children are being cared for and are hearing the Word proclaimed to them. We are in need adults who will proclaim
the Word to the children. We are also in need of teens and adults who are willing to assist by reading, leading
prayers, and modeling good church behavior. To volunteer for this ministry, please call Matt Furjanic,
773-445-3450, or email: [email protected]. Thank you!

HAVING A PARTY........
for graduation, holidays, your block party, etc?
The St. Barnabas Eccommittee can help make your event an ecologically green one.
We provide containers for aluminum cans which we will distribute to you and collect. The
revenue from these cans is used to purchase eco-friendly products for St. Barnabas events.
We also provide paper cups and water coolers to avoid using bottled water. So much
bottled water comes from 3rd world countries. People are dying there as we drink their water here. Please don't
purchase or drink bottled water. Lives depend on your compassionate choice.
You can call the rectory at 773-779-1166 or call 773-779-6064. Thank you from Mother Earth.

Stewardship Spotlight
Stewardship is the recognition that all we have is a gift from God. It asks that we use our time, talent, and treasure to
fulfill the depth of our commitment to St. Barnabas Parish. We rely on the generosity of our parishioners to fund our
ministries and operations, and for this, we are grateful.
Online giving is a great way to give to the Sunday Offertory!
Currently, 138 parishioners give online —up from 72 in November! As we approach the end of our fiscal year, June
30th, please consider using Give Central to donate to the Sunday Offertory via electronic check (ACH) or credit/debit
card; make automatically repeating payments, or a one-time gift. If you already give online, please check your account to make sure your card is active and to update your giving amounts. New and renewing support is critical to
ending the fiscal year with a balanced budget.
Please visit our website, www.stbarnabasparish.org, and click on the Give Central logo to set-up your donation in
three easy steps:
1. Select your gift amount and designation
2. Log in to your account or create a new account
3. Enter payment method.
Online giving saves our parish time and money in printing and mailing costs,
and provides more reliable Sunday offertory income. Think about how
important St. Barnabas Parish is to your family, and please give with a
generous heart.
Your support of St. Barnabas Parish is appreciated – We are better together!
