Jay Barnwell, Director of Stewardship for Our Lady of the Pines Parish, dies at age 74

COLORADO SPRINGS. Jay Barnwell, who served as Director of Stewardship for Our Lady of the Pines Parish in the Black Forest section of Colorado Springs, died Dec. 21, 2022. Mass of Christian Burial was celebrated Jan. 13 at Our Lady of the Pines.

Barnwell was born July 13, 1948 in Denver, one of 11 children born to Joan and Marion Barnwell. He graduated from Machebeuf High School in 1966 and attended the University of Colorado while pursuing a career as an airline pilot. He worked as an instructor at Arapahoe Airport and as a traffic reporter for a radio station.

He married his wife Nancy in 1970, and they had two sons, Marc and Michael. In 1971, Barnwell was hired by Flying Tigers as an instructor, and when that company merged with FedEx, he was named chief pilot. 

The Barnwells later relocated to Colorado Springs, where Jay worked as a tow pilot for the U.S. Air Force Academy and became a trustee for the Falcon Foundation. He also became a Knight of the Equestrian Order of the Holy Sepulchre.

In 2013, Barnwell retired and began volunteering at Our Lady of the Pines as stewardship director as well as sacristan, acolyte, extraordinary minister of holy communion and other roles. 
He is survived by his wife Nancy, sons Marc (Amanda) and Michael (Jennifer), six grandchildren, and siblings Betty, Rosemary, Bob, Janie, Mary Lu, Paul, Greg and David.

THE BISHOP'S CROZIER: Resuming the Distribution of Communion Under Both Species

By Bishop James R. Golka

Bishop James R. Golka 0 951 Article rating: 3.9

For as often as you eat this bread and drink the chalice, you proclaim the Lord’s death until he comes. — 1 Cor 11:26

The gift of the Eucharist and the celebration of the sacrificial banquet always include the offering of bread and wine. It has always been essential to the celebration of the Sacrament that the priest offering the Mass receives both the Sacred Body and Precious Blood. The practice of the early Church was to offer the laity communion under both kinds as well. This practice eventually fell out of use for numerous reasons by the 12th century (“Norms for the Distribution and Reception of Holy Communion Under Both Kinds,” 17-18).

Fr. Larry Brennan's Homily at Bishop Sheridan's funeral

I am Father Larry Brennan, a retired priest of the Archdiocese of St. Louis and a longtime friend of the late Bishop Michael Sheridan. Over the last 12 years, I had the privilege of working with him in a variety of capacities, coming to know many of you who are here this afternoon. Today I have the sad honor of preaching at his funeral.

We human beings have a variety of reactions in the face of the mystery of death. No one of them is the correct one. No one of them is normative. I know that they are all present here today. For many people, the first reaction is numbness or shock.

Making Sunday the Lord’s Day Again

By Father Jim Baron

I propose we take a cue from a punk-rock band called “Taking Back Sunday.” Although the band name probably has nothing to do with celebrating the Sabbath, it just seems like an overall great project: Take Back Sunday as the Lord’s Day.
