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!
All Eyes were Smiling! A St. Patrick’s Day Dinner/Dance Recap
It was a grand evening for everyone, Irish or otherwise! 135 people attended the St. Patrick’s Day Dinner Dance at St. Francis on March 11, dancing to the music of Irish group Buoy 34, and entertained by the Irish step dancers from the Doherty/Petry School of Irish Dance, and the bagpipe tunes of Nicholas Minguillon. Judges Lisa Love and Liz Cook chose Carol Queally and Leslie Kulawicz the winners of the Soda Bread contest from among 10 entries.
