From our Pastor: It is always important for me that families fell welcomed here at St. Barnabas while a ending Mass. I know that one of the joys that families experience is being together as a family on Sunday mornings. However, many of you have li le ones that may be too young to understand the value of silence and a en veness during the Mass. If they become too restless or loud I encourage you to take them into the social hall. Be assured that we have speakers in the social hall so that you can hear Mass as you are a ending your child or children. I see that many of you already do this and I thank you. As much as I want families to feel welcomed I also want others a ending Mass to do so without a lot of distrac ons. Thank you for your a en on on this ma er. God Bless, Fr.
