Al Barbarino will be with us at St. Francis of Assisi January 14- 16, 2023, to sing and speak at Mass.
On Monday, January 16, 2023 at 7:30pm, Al will hold a special presentation “Beginning the New Year with Jesus!”
Al Barbarino is a Lay Franciscan with the Franciscan Friars of the Renewal (Fr. Benedict Groeschel’s Community), and is a member of the Knights of Columbus. Throughout the years in this apostolate, he has recorded CDs/videos, and traveled around the world.
He speaks on our faith in a most practical, everyday level. Through all the support of his recordings, he helps the Franciscans at their homeless shelters, Croatian Relief International Outreach, and for the poor, wherever he sings.
Al has worked in the New York City prisons for incarcerated youth as a counselor. He has many stories to share!
Church is Good for Your Body and Soul
Recent medical studies revealed that people who attend church at least weekly have longer life expectancies and fewer complications from illnesses or surgeries than non-church goers.
Religious Education Teachers are Needed!
Have you ever thought of becoming a catechist? Our children – now more than ever – need the guidance to learn about our loving and merciful Lord and what it means to be a faithful Catholic.
