Frequently Asked Questions
What does it mean to be a merged parish?
Saint Barnabas Catholic Congregation is one parish with three different sites. We act as one because we are one.
Our parish was formed on July 1st, 2024 after St. Rita, St. Augustine, and Holy Assumption merged. The three parishes had been collaborating and sharing a pastor for several years and it became clear that they were stronger together.
St. Rita, St. Augustine, and Holy Assumption no longer exist as individual parishes; their buildings and parishioners are now part of Saint Barnabas Catholic Congregation.
Additionally, in 2023, St. Florian Parish in West Milwaukee merged with Holy Assumption, which is why you may see or hear references to St. Florian.
When and where are Masses held?

How can I get involved?
Thank you for your interest and willingness to serve! We believe that one of the most important ways we can show our faith and bring others to Christ is through works and service to others.
