Meaning of this year’s shirt design: We chose to “piggy-back” off of our Dodgers winning the World Series last year! (Sorry if you’re not a Dodger Fan – but you know where you live! Ha!) We took on the parody of The Dodgers logo, to have it say “Barnafest.” Instead of the baseball at the top, we changed it to the Holy Eucharist flying upward to the sky. And of course, instead of the “LA” letters, we used “LB” since our Parish is located in Long Beach.
This year we wanted to have a nice incentive by getting T-Shirt sponsors! So on the back, we featured their business logos and/or names of our big monetary sponsors. (Some may be missing, as we received more sponsors after the print deadline)
T-Shirts will be available for purchase during Barnafest for $20/each. (Sizes: S-3XL) Currently, we are pre-selling after Mass on Saturday evening and after ALL Sunday Masses. They are selling out fast, so we re-ordered more! Other sizes will be available again soon!
You can also visit our St. Barnabas Merch Store & purchase your 2026 Commemorative Barnafest Festival T-Shirt via online! Click on image or the link below.)
