St. Barnabas Golf Outing
St. Barnabas will be holding its 3rd Annual Monsignor Potterton Memorial Golf Outing on Thursday, October 7th at the Lido Beach Golf Club. Monsignor loved to play golf and he loved his parish. Let’s help keep his memory alive by joining in this annual event. Many of you who are not golfers, and would like to share in this day, could do so by being a sponsor, donating a prize, attending the dinner or making a donation in his memory. For further information, contact the rectory office. Thank you for your support.

Discipleship
The call of the disciples is so familiar to us that we tend to miss the wonder of the disciples’ response, which was immediate and complete; they leave everything and follow Jesus. Can we do less if we feel that God is calling us to the priesthood or consecrated life? If you think God is calling you, contact the Vocations Office at 631-424-9888 or Vocations@drvc.org.

Many, Many Thanks
Your generous support of our Back To School Collection was incredible. Your donations are being distributed, and dozens of needy children along with their families, are being helped. School supply bills these days are astronomical, and so is our clients’ appreciation. This year, as you know, we once again tried the “gift card idea”, and it worked like a charm, giving families the chance to get a lot more of the things that individual schools and teachers really require. The St. Vincent de Paul Society and Parish Outreach thank you from the bottom of their hearts!

On Sunday, September 26th, couples married 50 years or more, who have not already been honored by the Bishop, are invited to receive a special blessing and certificate from His Excellency Paul Walsh, following the celebration of the Eucharist at Maria Regina Church, Seaford at 3:00 PM. Please pick up your registration card at the rectory, fill it out, and return to the Diocese no later than September 8th.
