Greetings from Saint Barnabas Catholic Church! We welcome you anytime to our church and school. St. Barnabas is based on the sharing of our gifts from God called stewardship. As a Catholic people, we are called to be hospitable, to be people of prayer especially at Mass. In addition to all of this we try to serve God in mind, body, and spirit. Our faith life is also centered on the helping of the poor, those less fortunate than ourselves. Saint Barnabas was a preacher of the Gospel who spent time evangelizing and converting people to Christianity. Since 1965 we have been doing the same here on the south-side of Indianapolis. Come join us and be part of the work of God being done in the name of Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior.

Dear Parishioners:
When we truly place our confidence in Christ our hope, we become the faithful who proclaim the word of God, celebrate the sacraments and exercise the ministry of charity. When we do these things we live our faith to the fullest and build up the kingdom of God.
Through our baptism, we become one with Christ and with the members of our Church, the body of Christ. The grace of confi rmation and the repeated graces received in the holy Eucharist strengthen us and give us the courage to generously help people in need throughout our local community.
Thank you for your commitment to our parish. Your ongoing prayers and support are vital to our parish's ability to nourish itself, grow and offer vital ministries. This is why I continue to be grateful to you and ask you to share your God-given gifts with our parish community in the coming year. By giving generously of your time, talent and treasure through the United Catholic Appeal: Christ Our Hope annual stewardship renewal, we are able to:
• provide sacramental ministry and pastoral care
• offer spiritual nourishment through liturgy and special devotions
• maintain our place of worship and meet our monthly responsibilities
It is in this spirit that Archbishop Charles C. Thompson and I thank you for your faithful commitment and invite you to share your blessings with your local community to:
• foster Catholic education and faith formation
• provide education for our seminarians and deacons and retirement benefits for our priests
• offer help to people in our archdiocese who are most in need
Please join us in support of the United Catholic Appeal: Christ Our Hope. Collectively as the body of Christ, we can bring hope to the people of our local community through your faith in Christ the risen Lord.
Sincerely yours in Christ,
Monsignor Anthony Volz
