With the completion of the Church, all
attention was directed toward the
establishment of a school. A two family
house opposite the Church on the South
Eastern corner of 241st Street and
Martha Avenue was secured as a convent
and Reverend Sisters Bertille, Gertrude
Marie and Agnes Marion of the Sisters of
Charity, took possession on the Feast of
the Epiphany in 1913. By February of
1913, 104 children were divided into
three grades and classes began in the
basement of the Church. Additional space
was needed almost immediately and two
classrooms and a principal's office. On
April 13, 1916, John Cardinal Farley
returned to St. Barnabas to dedicate the
new building. Over time, the original
building has undergone several major
expansions and seen its high school
students move to a new facility hat
opened in September of 1959. (To
