That's also a thing of the past. It was a revenue generator and community builder. Oh don't worry they'll just beg for money from you the parishioner instead. There is no sense of community at this church it's the exact opposite. I will no longer tithe nor visit.

Trinity Lutheran Church and School in Hicksville on West Nicholai Street (…read morewww.TrinityHicksville.org) is a beautiful church inside. Not being a parish member and having visited only once, I take this time to place a 3 star review. It has brightly colored images of glass windows. The Pastor, Senior Reverend John Hopkins speaks and presents very fine and smooth. Above the pews on the next level is an organ. It was played by Henry DeVries the day we visited there; for a special service to honor the life of Mel MacDonald. They have a multi-purpose room in the back which can be used for people to have activities. As in this case, to serve food, drink and share memorable moments on a video screen. They also have a school and multiple sports and boy scout activities as well. I found Kim, one of their office staff to be pleasant and efficient in communicating and responding to my inquiries. If you are searching out the area for a place, you may want to add their website to your list to check out.

As a priest of 20 years, this was the most disappointing and unwelcoming church I have ever been…read moreto. I was never once informed that I needed to have a letter or approval from the pastor to concelebrate the Mass. When looking for the pastor to rectify this, he was unavailable despite many attempts to contact him on the day of the wedding. This was completely unprofessional of the pastor since I was never given a chance to even speak to him. I have been a priest involved with the family of the wedding couple for years, however, since the pastor was unavailable and never made any attempt to see me, I was told I could not participate in any way with the wedding Mass. The family was unsurprisingly disappointed but, unfortunately, not surprised. Therefore, I could only hope and pray that the laity are treated better than a fellow brother of the presbyterate.

The parish is very large as opposed to an "intimate size" BUT Msgr Stephen Camp and the Pastoral…read moreStaff are OUTSTANDING priests and deacons, give honest, challenging sermons that strengthen the Faithand care about all that they serve! The church has many active ministries of prayer and service and actively seeks participants in these ministries. The parish successfully runs an outstanding elementary school, and is a true Catholic church! Several Saturday and Sunday masses are offered that cater to either the early risers, the young, families with school age children and a Choral mass by one of the best choirs on Long Island. Our Music Director, Mr. Matthew Koraus, is an absolute genius who welcomes all to participation in our music ministry and hosts several concerts and recitals by the church's music ministry and other talents that raise appreciation for sacred music. In addition to the Chorale, there are groups for the very young, elementary school and high school choral groups. While the parish encompasses a middle class to affluent section of Huntington, there are marginalized people and families that this parish seeks out, welcomes and serves through its "Trocaire" Parish Social Ministry and their St. Vincent DePaul Society, and partners with St. Hugh's RC Church which serves a poor and immigrant population. The parish serves people of every age group, from sewing circles, to CYO to Teen Club (LifeTeen) with their own Mass, to older people. The parish hosts chapters for the Knights of Columbus, St. Vincent dePaul Society, Catholic Daughters of America, The Ancient Order of Hibernians, Alcoholics Anonymous and their partner support groups. There are also many prayer groups dedicated to Jesus, the Blessed Mother, Peace, Pro-Life, etc.

Father Stevens is a huge Blessing to this church! He is extremely patient, understanding and…read moreflexible with helping you make your dreams a reality! He is a life saver!

It's an older community but vibrant and Saint Barnabas has been lucky (blessed) with not just a good flock, so to speak, but great shepherds through these years. Thanks for listening. :)

I like and dislike that because if your in time you still late because they started early! Lesson learn to come earlier than start time!! The church is clean and beautiful!!

The church is on Brookville Rd and 138th Ave that can't be missed. No parking lot that I saw. Only street parking so come early to find parking!
