A Message from Father Michael
The Diocesan Lenten Appeal will officially kick off on February 17. Over the coming weeks, we’ll share more information with you through the mail, and social media, as well as here on our parish website. I humbly ask that you consider the pledge or gift that you are able to make to our Diocesan Lenten Appeal, and in advance I thank you for your generosity.

​Donate NowThe year 2020 showed us many things. We began to slow down and shift our focus. We learned to let go and let God more than ever. It has been a time that has reminded us that church has never been about the building. We are the church. In these days, we seek to stay connected with you, our brothers and sisters. Many often ask, "How can I keep giving to St. Barbara?" "Where do I send my envelope or can I give online?" We have three options for you to help ensure our parish community in Harrison City remains strong, vibrant and well beyond this current time of uncertainty. 

​St. Barbara Parish offers online giving to its parishioners who seek to make donations to our weekly offerings, as well as other special collections. Parishioners also use WeShare to pay for ministries and events, such as Foundations of Faith and Manus Christi. There is no additional cost incurred to any individual who participates in the WeShare online giving program. It is simple to allocate different amounts for different collections, and view complete, accurate financial records at any time. You can set up a one time or recurring donation, and begin the process in three easy steps.

1. Connect to WeShare.
2. Set up your account.
3. Choose your payment options and customize your donations.

Those who wish to continue to use traditional methods for the offertory are most certainly welcome. Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT) is also available, however, we ask that you prayerfully consider online giving. If you have any questions about the program or need assistance setting up your account, don't hesitate to reach out to Jan Shepherd in the Parish Office at 724-744-7474.
