From the Pastor's Desk

May is a very joyful month for us as we welcome the new Pope, who will guide us on our journey as Disciples of Christ and pilgrims of hope.

This month, the children and young adults of our parish will complete their sacramental preparation. The children will celebrate their First Holy Communion, while the young adults will receive the Gift of the Holy Spirit in the Sacrament of Confirmation.

I ask for your prayers and support for them, invoking the intercession of the Blessed Virgin Mary—Mother of the Church and Help of Christians. I hope they will continue to participate actively in the celebration of the Sacraments and in the life of the parish, becoming true Disciples of Christ who proclaim Him through their faith, hope, and acts of charity.

I have already prepared the Sacramental Preparation Program and events for September 2025 to May 2026 for those who wish for their children to celebrate and receive the Sacraments here at Saint Bartholomew Parish. The sacramental preparation program aligns with the school year calendar. You can find the program calendar posted on our parish website and bulletin board.

We provide the dates for the parish sacramental program and sessions well in advance to help families with scheduling and planning activities for their children from September 2025 to May 2026.
