From the 1890s through the 1980s, St. Barnabas' was led by deaf ordained Episcopal priests.  Since then, our vicars have been hearing but deaf leadership of St. Barnabas continues through the leadership of the Mission Committee.  At St. Barnabas' we continue to work with the ECD to ensure the future of deaf persons in ordained Episcopal ministry as well as deaf lay ministry.

The names and dates are from our parish register.  The photos are from "A Missionary Chronicle" by the late Rev. Otto B. Berg, one of our wonderful priests listed below.
