He has served in parish and diocesan ministry and as a member of the North American Forum on the Catechumenate.
He is noted as a leader in helping parishes implement the Vatican II inspired Rite of Reception into the Full Communion of the Catholic Church through which persons baptized in another Christian community are received into the Catholic Church. This work has led him to explore deeply the place of Baptism in the life of a Christian.
Easter Time RCIA Workshop

Ministers and Ministries of Adult Initiation
A familiar phrase is that it takes a village to raise a child. Our Church believes it takes a parish to form a Christian. And so, in the introductory paragraphs to the Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults it says: "...The people of God, as represented by the local Church, should understand and show by their concern that the initiation of adults is the responsibility of all the baptized." (RCIA #9)
No longer just father's responsibility, it is also not just the initiation team's responsibility, but that of the whole parish. This evening workshop will explore how our church evolves a parish community to be involved with the initiation of adults.

The Grace Filled Heart: Baptism - Ever Ancient, Ever New
Vatican II restored the primacy of baptism within the Catholic Church, yet today, almost 60 years later, most Catholics don't recognize the importance of this perduring sacrament in their faith life. This mini retreat will lead participants to reclaim their baptism and appreciate how it graces their lives every day through the images of the symbols used in the sacrament.

2022 Bishop's Appeal
We humbly ask the people of the Diocese of Oakland to participate in the day-to-day work of meeting the needs of the faithful. The Bishop's Ministries Appeal supports the ministries that go out into the parishes – faith formation and evangelization, CYO sports, formation of priests to serve those parishioners, care of the retired priests, and meeting the unexpected needs of schools and parishes. Hear from Bishop Barber about the vital work your donations support through the Bishop's Ministries Appeal.
“Feed my lambs, feed my sheep’ refers primarily to Holy Communion, but it also extends to the ministries of instruction, catechism, schools, and charities; feeding people with the word of God, feeding people with the truth of the Catholic faith, feeding people with pastoral care."
