We, the Catholic Faith Community of St. Barnabas Parish, are a people of love, hope, and joy whose daily lives give witness to our faith and Christian values. With God's grace, we continue the mission of Jesus in the world today through prayer, loving service, mutual support, and apostolic action. All the faithful in nice health from ages 18 to 59 fast on Ash Wednesday and Good Friday by limiting themselves to one full meal each day. On such fasting days, they may take two smaller meals, but nothing between meals.
