Youth Ministry

Mission Statement: St. Barnabas Youth Ministry is here to promote personal and spiritual formation in the lives of all the members of the Church, especially her youth. We welcome all young people as each one of them is overwhelmingly loved by God. Our goal is to assist them to recognize and answer the Universal Call to Holiness as members and disciples of the Body of Christ. Through the activities of SBYM, the youth of the Parish will be invited to participate more fully in the life of the Church, and to truly grow and foster a deep, personal relationship with Christ, through prayer, community, and the Eucharist, the source and summit of our Catholic Faith

Vision Statement: The future of the Church is unmistakably carried by her young people. SBYM believes that the key to a healthy, vibrant Church is a healthy, vibrant youth. Our vision is to see the Church come to new life through the devotion of her young people to Jesus and Mary, our mother, through the Eucharist and the sacraments of the Church.

“Barnabas was a good man, full of the Holy Spirit and full of faith. When he reached Antioch and saw how God blessed the people, he was glad. He ENCOURAGED all the believers in Antioch always to obey the Lord with all their hearts and many people became followers of the Lord.”
​Acts 11:23-24

Confirmation: The sacrament of Confirmation is currently available to the Youth at St. Barnabas, beginning in 8th grade. Confirmation is the sacrament that completes our Baptism, and in it the gift of the Holy Spirit is bestowed upon us, so that each of us may receive the strength to bear witness to God’s love and might in both word and deed. Our Youth Ministry programs are here to walk alongside our young people as they discover what it truly means to be Confirmed in the fullness of the Church, and how they can continue to learn and grow in their spiritual lives after they have received the gift of the Holy Spirit through their Confirmation.
