Ask Father...
“Fr. Bob's response to a question concerning the Sacrament of Reconciliation (Confession) was that we do not HAVE to go to Confession. I was (am) still under the impression that Church law required every Catholic of age to receive both the Sacraments of Reconciliation and Holy Eucharist once a year during the Easter period.”

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 carmbruster@barnabasohio.org. We will list your question anonymously on the Ask Father page, and a Priest will answer your question.
An Easter Prayer
Lord Jesus,
This Easter, may we remember why this season is celebrated above all others.
When we see eggs and rabbits, remind us of the joy brought by all new life, both through springtime in nature, and eternal life through your resurrection. When we see bright ribbons and colors, may we remember the joy of this season, at the conclusion of Lent.
Above all, help us remember the greatest gift of all, your conquest of death and sin, which saved all of us from eternal death and opened heaven's gates for us all.
Amen.

Support the 'Respect for Rights of Conscience Act'
After learning of the U.S. Dept. of Health & Human Services announcement that almost ALL employers, including Catholic employers, will be forced to offer their employees health coverage that includes sterilization, abortion-inducing drugs, and contraception; and hearing our Bishops and Priests denounce this violation of our consciences, here is something we can do, along with prayer and fasting, to try to change this awful ruling.

We need to support the "RESPECT FOR RIGHTS OF CONSCIENCE ACT" by writing or calling our representatives. Click here for their contact information.
HOMEBOUND MINISTRY is g r o w i n g........!
We are looking for Eucharistic Ministers who are wanting to join this beautiful outreach ministry to visit the sick of our parish. We have a variety of different visitation sites from nursing home settings, group homes, to individual homes. A pyx and burse will be provided along with a brief orientation held at our Church.

Won't you prayerfully consider bringing "Jesus" to one of the several locations listed below?
  • 2nd Sundays at Northfield Retirement Village: 10:00—11:30 a.m. for one-on-one Communion visits.
  • Grand Manor (an adult MRDD group home on Alexander Road) every 4-5 week rotation on Wednesday evenings at 7:00 p.m. for a 20-minute Communion service. Please contact Joe Candio at 330-468-4994 for this assignment.
  • Substitutes are ALWAYS needed for in-home visits—15-20 minutes (a great way to begin this ministry.)
Any questions or to set up a time for an orientation, please call Rosi at 330-468-2568. Thanks.
