Welcome to St. Barnabas Parish!

BE “SIMON OF CYRENE” THIS LENT (Service to others)

As stated in the gospel, Simon of Cyrene helped CHRIST CARRY HIS CROSS during his trek to Calvary.
This Lenten season, we are encouraging our parish families to do the same. . . help others who are in need.

We, Project Achieve Ministry Kitchen, are hosting a Parish Lenten Service Project for our friends at the Catholic Charities shelter, Project Achieve.


– Who: Everyone in our church (get the kids involved)
– What: The Helping Hands of Simon of Cyrene Lenten Service Project
– When/Where: Pick a “donation cross” Sundays, 3/12 and 3/19 – back of the church
– Collect donations: Sunday, 3/26 (7:30am-1:30pm) – church parking lot
– Why: To help others live the spirit of almsgiving AND to teach our children about caring for, helping and giving to others

CALLED TO RENEW CAMPAIGN

Called to Renew is a historic, five-year campaign to strengthen parishes, families, and communities through unity and action; together we commit to renewing what is important so we can pass it on to those who we love.

Called to Renew is a bold plan to strengthen every parish and Catholic center in the Archdiocese of Los Angeles, vital ministries that serve thousands each year, education and formation for our children, and the support of priests and those discerning the call.

Every Catholic will be invited to participate in this effort to affirm a commitment to our faith over the next few years. Lives will be changed, and through our faith and action, we can each answer a call for renewal here in Southern California.

2022-2023 EUCHARISTIC REVIVAL

Nourished by the Eucharist, send us forth to walk faithfully as missionary disciples.

WHY // To renew the Church by enkindling a living relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ in the Holy Eucharist.

WHAT // A movement of Catholics across the United States, healed, converted, formed, and unified by an encounter with Jesus in the Eucharist—and sent out in mission “for the life of the world.”

HOW // A series of Archdiocesan experiences proclaiming the Gospel of Jesus Christ and promoting Eucharistic devotion:

  • Regional Eucharistic Congresses (November 2022 and February 2023) – music, presentations by the Office for Divine Worship and the Office of New Evangelization and Parish Life, adoration of the Blessed Sacrament, Mass with regional bishops
  • 24-Hours with the Lord (September 2022) – 24 hours of adoration of the Blessed Sacrament in one parish per deanery
  • Mass with Archbishop Gomez and Eucharistic Procession in the streets of LA (March 2023)
  • Young adult gatherings (fall 2022, winter, spring 2023) – music, adoration of the Blessed Sacrament, witness talks, Mass, fellowship
