The latest information from the parish.

Children are invited to a Christmas workshop with food and entertainment as we celebrate St. Nicholas and St. Barbara. What they make will be sold in aid of the Advent campaign Adventsaksjonen.
The collection taken on Sunday 1 November came to NOK 771 in cash and NOK 3,209 via Vipps, NOK 3,980 in total. The collection on Sunday 8 November goes to the Holy See. Many thanks for all your gifts!
All children in the parish are welcome on a trip to Rush trampoline park in Drammen after High Mass on Sunday 15 November. We need adults with cars.
The campaign «Et hus bygget på fjell» (A House Built on Rock) is now under way. Videos about the campaign are available on katolsk.no, where you can also read the pastoral letter that was read on Sunday 18 October. Feel free to take a brochure home. Many thanks to everyone who helps us build our Church together.
Is there a matter you would like the parish council to discuss? Email Fr. Trym at kongsberg@katolsk.no or speak to him in person.
Information about a diocesan fundraising campaign will be released soon. Parishes will identify their own projects to receive a share of the funds. St. Barbara plans to improve the outdoor area to create more space and make it more attractive, and to provide more parking spaces. The site inspection report and preliminary site plan are available to read in the parish hall.
Please contact Fr. Trym if you are interested in joining a group for the over-60s with regular gatherings.
Please share your thoughts on the layout of the parish hall. We would also welcome ideas for making better use of the space and making coffee after Mass even more enjoyable.
We would like to form a committee to plan parish celebrations and events throughout the year. Please contact Fr. Trym if you would like to help.
The parish needs volunteers to support children and young people in catechesis. Help is needed in Kongsberg, Notodden and Mo.
