St. Barnabas Parish has been committed to total stewardship since its beginning in 1965. As a ministry of the parish, St. Barnabas School is supported through the time, talent, and treasure of the parish families.

Embracing stewardship as a way of life challenges us to see God's generosity and then imitate it out of our love for God. In the words of founding pastor, Fr. Sciarra, "As each one has received a gift, use it to serve one another as good stewards of God's varied grace."

At St. Barnabas, the practice of stewardship is supported through the four pillars of

• Hospitality
• Prayer
• Formation
• Service

Each pillar is used as a means to share the good news of God's love for us and our response to that love. All school families are expected to share their

• Time - by attending Mass at St. Barnabas each weekend
• Their talent - by volunteering in one of the many ministries of the parish
• Their treasure - by tithing.
