Visioning Sessions
CAPITAL CAMPAIGN - DARE TO DREAM
We believe every voice at St. B matters—which is why we've designed multiple visioning sessions to fit different schedules, life stages, and perspectives within our community. Each session is thoughtfully designed for a specific group within our St. Barnabas family, so please choose the one that best reflects your place in our community. Every voice matters, and structuring our sessions this way ensures each perspective gets the focused attention it deserves.
We ask that you attend the session most appropriate for you and your family so we can create the best experience for everyone. If none of the listed sessions seem like the right fit, please reach out to the Capital Campaign Committee—we're here to help connect you to the right conversation.
