Holy Child Chapel Opportunity – 17 left!

For a couple of months now, our students have been making daily visits to the Blessed Sacrament, reserved in Holy Child Chapel in St. Barnabas School. It is thanks to your generosity that we were able to make this chapel a reality! We do have another memorial opportunity. Chapel chairs are being purchased that will match the other furniture and will have flip-down kneelers. Each solid oak, upholstered chair will cost $190.00. This price includes the placement of a small brass plaque in memory or in honor of someone. Eight chairs have already been claimed – 17 still available. Did your child(ren) attend St. Barnabas? Did you attend St. Barnabas School? This is a great opportunity to place the names of such people before the Blessed Sacrament in the chapel! Call the office or speak with Father Jerabek if you would like to sponsor one or more chairs.
