Welcome to St. Bartholomew's Church 
From the Pastor's Desk
Dear Brothers and Sisters,
As the end of summer approaches and the new school year begins, we welcome 256 children to our school community. Fr. Abraham and Deacon John Broehl will assume new responsibilities in the parish. Fr. Abraham Orapankal will offer a workshop for our teachers and catechists on handing on the "Catholic Tradition." Deacon John Broehl will work with Mrs. Fitzgerald in providing spiritual enrichment for our children and staff.
Fr. Abraham and I will be working together on the calendar for the year ahead. We will have only one daily Mass Monday through riday at 8:30am and Saturday at 8am. This will allow Fr. Abraham to be home with his family during the month of November.
Be sure to mark your calendar for "Volunteer Appreciation Night" for fun and food in the parish hall Septemaber 17th at 7pm. Please call Nellie at the parish office 732/257-7722 to confirm you will attend.
In Christ,
Fr. Thomas

St. Bartholomew's Career Connect is a Catholic business network. As parishioners of Saint Bartholomew's, we have always gathered together to help each other in time of need. If your job has been recently terminated or in jeopardy of being terminated join us for a night of networking. Start by building a business network within our parish. Speak to other parishioners that are in a similar situation or speak to someone that has a job lead for you.
