The committee meets on an as-needed basis to discuss the repair, remodel, or reconstruction of major facility needs. Contractors are contacted, bids are requested and reviewed and when necessary, recommendations for implementation are made to the Parish Finance Board.

Endowment Foundation

The St. Barnabas Endowment Foundation was established in 1992. The purpose of the Foundation was to develop a mechanism through which parishioners could donate funds that would be used at some point in the distant future to help address currently unforeseen needs and circumstances that might confront the Parish. Donations are currently invested in a diversified portfolio and are managed by an independent money management firm, with oversight from the Foundation Board. The Foundation Board consists of various delegates from the Pastoral Council, Finance Board, and School Board, as well as a few at-large members.  

Grant-In-Aid

Responsible for evaluating requests from Catholic school families, living within parish boundaries, for tuition assistance and determining the amount provided to specific recipients utilizing policy guidelines approved by the School Board and the Finance Board.
