Celebrating over a Century of Faith and Education

St. Barbara Parish is a Roman Catholic community celebrating a century of faith in the Bridgeport area. Our faith community welcomes all people, helping them grow spiritually through liturgy, prayer, and education, and socially through activities for all ages. Our school takes great pride in fostering these values in our children. We give witness to our faith by sharing with each other our God-given gifts and talents. We nourish and sustain our faith as a family by celebrating the sacraments and the presence of the risen Lord among us in the Eucharist.

WE WELCOME YOU Seeking a parish? A spiritual family? A place to pray, deepen your faith, or serve others?

Dear Brothers and Sisters,

The observance of Father's Day has an important place in American life. It is also important to St. Bar-bara because, for the last four years, we have cele-brated Father’s Day on the last day of our parish car-nival.

On this Father’s Day, I would like to invite all fa-thers to reflect in a particular way on what it is that you wish for your children. To be a father is a great privilege, but it is also a great responsibility that re-quires much sacrifice. On this day we give thanks to our earthly fathers, spiritual fathers, and all men who have a fatherly role in the lives of others for their care, support, and love. Above all, today is a day when we give thanks to God, Our Heavenly Father, who gives us His Own Son, Jesus Christ. This means that God, Our Father, gives us everything that is the best, and He will be our Loving Dad forever. We pray that all fathers, both physical and spiritual, may seek a deeper relationship with Our Heavenly Father, so that they may imitate Him, Who is Love. May God bless you, fathers, for your presence in our lives. Fr. Arthur

PEACE on EARTH!

Pray for the safety of the men and women of our

UNITED STATES ARMED FORCES protecting and serving the world over. May our world one day be at peace.

Father’s Day Mass Remembrance Father - Grandfather - Godfather - Uncle - Brother Father’s Day is coming. Remembrance envelopes are available in back of church. Please return them with the names of all fathers to be remembered. Your intentions will be remembered in special Mass-es offered up throughout the year. You are asked to include a donation that is suitable to your intentions. Envelopes can be brought to the rectory office or placed in the Sunday collection.

USHERS NEEDED! We are in desperate need of ushers. If you are in church and see that there are only one or two ushers, please volunteer to help out.

The priest who seldom goes out of himself … misses out on the best of our people, on what can stir the depths of his priestly heart. … This is what I am asking you — be shepherds with “the smell of sheep”, make it real, as shep-herds among your flock… . -Pope Francis, March 28, 2013, Chrism Mass, address

to world priests on Holy Thursday

I would be most honored if you can join me in this celebration of my

priesthood. Rich

School Happenings (School Website: www.stbarbaraschool.org)

Dear St. Barbara School Families, I hope you are enjoying a wonderful start to your summer break. As we prepare for the 2018/19 school year, I am reaching out regarding an opportunity to provide more stu-dents a wonderful Catholic education at St. Barbara School. As many of you know, the Invest in Kids Tax Credit Scholarship Program provides Illinois children access to new scholarships that could cover up to 100 percent of tuition—depending on their level of need. Those who contribute to this new program will receive a state tax credit equal to 75 percent of their contribution. There are more than 35 students in our St. Barbara community who qualify for these tax credit scholarships, but will not receive a scholarship because of lack of available fund-ing. We need your help so that these students can receive an outstanding education rooted in faith and service. I ask that you consider this amazing opportunity – support Catholic education at St. Bar-bara School and significantly reduce, or eliminate, your state tax bill at the same time. If you’d like to learn more, please contact Jeremy Monty at the Archdiocese of Chicago at jmonty@archchicago.org or 312.534.7939. Thank you for your time. Yours in Christ, Nicole Nolazco Principal
