St. Barnabas

🎉 Happy 50th Anniversary and Feast Day of St. Barnabas!

On June 6, 2026, over 700 parishioners, former pastors, priests, religious, and friends gathered at the Scarborough Convention Centre to celebrate a remarkable milestone—50 years of faith, community, and fellowship at St. Barnabas Parish.

Since its founding in 1976, St. Barnabas has been a spiritual home where countless lives have been touched through the sacraments, ministries, service, and the enduring presence of Christ. This Golden Anniversary Gala was a beautiful opportunity to reconnect with familiar faces, share cherished memories, and give thanks for the generations who have built and sustained our parish community.

We extend our heartfelt gratitude to our honored guest, Most Rev. Bishop Vincent Nguyen, for joining us in this special celebration. We also thank our former pastors and priests whose faithful leadership helped shape the life of our parish throughout the years.

A special thank you goes to our dedicated staff, volunteers, committee members, and all who worked tirelessly behind the scenes to organize and prepare for this unforgettable evening. Your generosity, commitment, and love for St. Barnabas made this celebration possible.

As we reflect on the blessings of the past 50 years, we look forward with hope and gratitude to the next chapter of our parish journey.

🗓️Please join us this Saturday, June 13th at 10:30AM for our anniversary mass celebrated by Cardinal Frank Leo followed by festivities in the parking lot.

Today we celebrate the 21st Anniversary of Priesthood of our pastor, Fr. Hansoo Park.

For the past years at St. Barnabas, Fr. Hansoo has poured his heart into this parish community — bringing people together, welcoming everyone like family, and always encouraging us to grow deeper in our faith. From fundraising and renovation projects to the everyday moments of parish life, his dedication and leadership continue to shape our community in so many ways.

He challenges us when needed, teaches the faith with conviction, and reminds us what it means to truly live as Catholics. At the same time, he walks with people as a friend, mentor, and spiritual father.

Thank you, Fr. Hansoo, for your “yes” to God these past 21 years and for all that you do for our parish family. May the Lord continue to bless you with strength, wisdom, good health, and joy in your priesthood.

Happy 21st Ordination Anniversary, Fr. Hansoo!
