Every Monday during the month of October we will pray the rosary at 2:15pm in the church, during adoration. Please join us before pick up to pray for our children!Ā
If you aren't able to make it, we invite you to find a rosary on Hallow to pray and join us in spirit!

Spam Emails - Please be aware that phishing emails are being sent that appear to come from Fr. James or Mr. Seislove, asking for favors or requesting a text response.

Friday Mass
If you plan to sit with your child at Friday Mass, we ask that they remain with you until the conclusion of both the St. Michael Prayer and the St. ThĆ©rĆØse Novena. After these prayers, students should be walked directly to their teacher.Ā
First Friday Buddy Mass
For First Friday Buddy Masses (the first Friday of every month), we ask that all students sit with their assigned buddy during the liturgy. This helps strengthen our faith community, gives older students the chance to model reverence and participation, and creates a special bond between our younger and older Blazers. Students should wear their "Joyful in Spirit, United in Faith" shirts.Ā
Homework Requests for Absences
Requests for homework should be made when reporting an absence, or no later than 9:00 a.m. on the day your child is absent. Work will be ready for pickup after 2:00 p.m., if not being sent home with a sibling. Please make this request to both your childās teacher and the school office at office@barnabasohio.org so we can ensure everything is prepared.Ā
Vacations
When students miss school for family vacations, all missed work will be given upon their return. Students are responsible for making up all work missed. Teachers will provide support, but it is the studentās responsibility to put in the extra time and effort to complete them. A reasonable amount of time for make-up work is equal to the number of days absent.
