Deacon’s Article for May 2019 by Amy Carder
Amy Carder (Parish 3) It’s hard to believe that my daughter, Lauren, is graduating from Barrington High School in just a few weeks.

Deacon Article by Caryl Bondelli

Deacon Article by Libby Louiseau
My husband, Stan, and I have been members of PCB since 2009. One of the things that attracted us to this church was the music program. It is truly one of the finest in the area.
