FROM MONSIGNOR BARRY
July 25th was my last day at Saint Barnabas. I will look back on our twelve years together as a great blessing from God. Our Lord brings people through our lives in order that we may touch each other with love, kindness and mercy in the context of His church. I have been so overwhelmed with your good wishes, prayers, Masses and cards that it will be difficult for me to respond to each one individually. I am grateful for the support, trust and collaboration the people of Saint Barnabas have demonstrated. Most parishioners know that the administration of Saint Barnabas is a monumental task and so I am particularly grateful for the great staff and volunteers that have rallied around our parish over the years, including our two schools and CCD program. When outsiders ask me “how is Saint Barnabas?” I respond with “it is a slice of heaven”. I so look forward to heaven because it will be there that we can all fully appreciate each other and glorify God for what He does for us. I will miss your terribly and will always remember you fondly in my prayers.
Now you will rally around a new administrative team in our parish and two schools. Even though the leadership is new, the base of the parish is the same, good, strong and loving Catholics. I know you will continue to do your best to help your new priests bring you along the Way of Christ.
Fond Farewell and God Bless Saint Barnabas Monsignor Edward Barry Sixth Pastor of Saint Barnabas My new address: Saint Patrick’s Rectory 137 Moseman Road Yorktown Heights, NY 10598
