Weekly News — 9 August 2026

Our newsletter comes to its Summer break.

Worship on Sundays continues throughout August at 10.30am.

This Sunday is our last choir-led sung Mass before the summer break, so come and enjoy this and our guest organist, and say farewell to Edwin at his last service as our baritone choral scholar.

To all our readers, many best wishes and blessings for August, in whatever circumstances you find yourselves,

Mother Sarah

Giving to St Barnabas - we need your help!

What does St Barnabas give you, that nothing else can?

WE NEED YOUR FINANCIAL HELP. 

Being part of something is a fabulous thing. Belonging includes helping in practical ways

- just like any valued relationship.

It takes 5 minutes to set up regular giving - and the benefit is limitless to this community. 

To get set up, or to review your regular giving, our easy form can be filled in HERE

Thank you!

You can find out more about our finances HERE
