Within the last year, St. Barbara Parish has begun to open her mind to new possibilities and begin to adapt an evolutionary transformation as the Roman Catholic Community in Penn Township. St. Barbara 2020 is an invitation to take up a new way of living in relationship with Christ Jesus. It is about embracing the work of being disciples in a fashion that builds upon the particular strengths of our people, and yet challenges us to grow beyond the walls of complacency.
This new work calls all members of our community to serve as mentors and guides for others on the way to salvation. It is about deliberately and conscientiously undertaking a new way of living whose primary purpose is to invite, to form and to share. This change will not happen overnight, but it can and will happen. We are committed to reversing church decline and striving to ensure the long-term health and vitality of your church reaches the next generation.
