Ask Father...
What is the role of the deacon in the Church? How does their training differ from that of a priest?

On-Line Priest Q & A
Do you have a question about our Catholic faith that you want to ask a priest but haven't had a good opportunity to ask it? Here's your chance! Send your question to Caryn at the Rectory (330-467-7959) or clintner@sbcglobal.net. We will list your question anonymously on the new Ask Father page, and a priest will answer your question.

World Day of Peace

Eternal God,
Who created the universe and whose presence hovers over all the world, you promised that our ancestors would dwell in a land of peace and prosperity. Through the prophets you announced that all nations would find their way to Mount Zion and stream to Jerusalem, David's city of peace.

Hear our prayers as the year begins. Grant peace to your people who honor your name, and prosperity to the nations that observe your law. May we tend with care the land you have given us, protect the waters that make fertile the fields, and guard the air that is the breath of life.

May all creation rejoice in your provident love, and be filled with the peace that comes from you. Amen.

Give us generous hearts in this season of giving, and throughout our lives, so that we might conform, like you, to the very love of God.
Amen.

Funeral Preparation
During Respect-Life month, we devoted one week to pre-planning, part of which is pre-planning of your funeral. We know it’s a sensitive topic which we try to avoid, but the reality is ‘it is what it is’ for each of us. To better plan ahead for what YOU would want done AND to help those who would have to plan your requests at the time, it helps to do this ahead of time.

To help you do this, we have put together a Funeral Mass Planning Sheet. If you wish, you can pick this up at the Rectory or download it here. For a list of song selections, click here. If you have any questions, please call the Rectory.
Helping Hands of St. Barnabas
Helping Hands is a ministry offered to parishioners at the time of family bereavement. Following a funeral, this ministry provides a luncheon for up to 70 people. The cost is minimal to the family. Meal is catered while our committee members serve and provide bakery and beverages in a relaxed atmosphere.

If you are in need of this service, please ask the Rectory personnel when making funeral arrangements. We will be notified and call you immediately with information and cost. Helping Hands is here to help you!
