EXPLORE ST. BARNABAS
Imagine one day you are worshiping in your church home. The next it is being uprooted, disbanded, and destroyed for the sake of a highway. This is the real experience of the parishioners of St. Barnabas. Please consider how this loss must have felt to the community as you participate in this journey and reflect on the ways in which parishioners had to adjust their lives after this change.
