answer period and former addicts will speak. We

encourage you to join us in helping to build a

stronger and safer community. This event is free and

open to the public including school age children from

seventh grade up, and is worth every minute of your

time. You will gain knowledge, confidence and the

tools needed to battle peer pressure and temptations

relating to drug use. You will also learn what signs

to look for, as well as assistance with the dialog that

you should be having with your kids. We are

fortunate to have Pamela Stark come to our district

and offer her award winning presentation.

God’s people. We are the eyes and ears of the

motto of our program to care for our children. For

National Vocations Awareness Week Did you know that in our country, compared to 50

years ago, there are 20,000 fewer priests and 129,000

fewer religious sisters? At the same time, the

Catholic population has continued to grow steadily.

Many factors have contributed to the decline:

growing secularism, a lengthened period of

adolescence, attitudes about celibacy, etc. During

Vocation Awareness week, please pray that young

people in today’s society will hear and respond to

God’s call. And do your part to encourage them to

consider priesthood and religious life.

Join the Invisible Monastery Pledge to pray for vocations at the international web

site www.invisiblemonastery.com. It was inspired by

a 2012 document from the Congregation for Clergy

urging Catholics to “organize and ‘invisible

monastery’ in which many persons, day and night,

are committed to continuous prayer for priestly

vocations.”

One Vocations Leads to Another “Let us not forget that Christian marriage is a

vocation to holiness in the full sense of the word, and

that the example of holy parents is the first condition

favorable for the flowering of priestly and religious

vocations.” ~Pope Benedict XVI

New Life – New Love The Parish rejoices with our young families who

celebrate the baptism of a child. Please be assured of

our prayers and support. We welcome our newest

parishioners.

Hi everyone!

This is the page for St Barnabas Life Teen. I’m

Peggy Harnisch your youth minister!!

If you’ve never been to a Youth Ministry night, we love you to try it

out! email Peggy for info!!

Hi Everyone! Today (Sunday) is All Souls Day.

This is a great day in our Church designed to

pray for all of the souls of the people who have died.

I think for our youth this day gets lost among so

much going on. As a society we just celebrated

Halloween.

November 1st is All Saints Day. On this day

we remember all of those who are in heaven, both

our canonized and not canonized saints. One of the

greatest traditions we have as Catholics is to pray for

the dead. When we do this we are really praying for

those in Purgatory, or those waiting to get to heaven.

All Souls Day remembers all of those people. Those

already in heaven do not need us to pray for them as

they are already with God.

This weekend, let’s all say some prayers for

those who have gone ahead of us and pray that they

are soon in Heaven! The beginning of the first

reading for All Souls Day is a great hope from God

for all of us!

The souls of the just are in the hand of God,

and no torment shall touch them. They seemed,

in the view of the foolish, to be dead; and

their passing away was thought an affliction

and their going forth from us, utter destruction.

But they are in peace. ~ Wis. 3:1-3

Have a blessed week!

~Peggy
