Welcome to St. Bartholomew's Church 
From the Pastor's Desk
Monday, June 29th, is the Feast of St. Peter and Paul. On this day we formally close the year of St. Paul. Throughout the past year we have reflected on his life and epistles.
St. Paul reminds us that the church is the Body of Christ and that Christ is the head of the church. Let us continue to pray for the renewal of our faith community through the intercession of the holy apostles, Peter and Paul.
In Christ
Fr. Thomas

Year for Priests
Pope Benedict XVI has declared a “Year for Priests” beginning with the Solemnity of the Sacred Heart of Jesus on June 19, 2009. The year will conclude in Rome with an international gathering of priests with the Holy Father on June 19, 2010.
With the announcement of this Year for Priests, the Pope has declared St. John Vianney the Universal Patron of Priests on the occasion of the 150th anniversary of the death of the Curé d’Ars.
Please pray for our priests that they might always be faithful to their sacred calling.
