The Barn Sale is one of the largest rummage sales events in the area.
In its 35th consecutive year of operation, the sale is rotated among
local Catholic parishes in the area to benefit people in need
and build a sense of community outreach.
Proceeds from the sale are used to pay down our parish debt
The Barn Sale has just about everything available for all your needs.
There are thousands of clothing items, electronics, refurbished bikes, lawnmowers, kitchen appliances,
furniture, accessories, a huge selection of toys, baby furnishings and much more. All items are pre-owned
and are discounted heavily.
