Rejoice, St. Bartholomew, it is our patronal feast!

Today the whole Church keeps the feast of the apostle whose name we carry, and in today's first reading John sees that name among the foundations of the heavenly Jerusalem. What a day to celebrate.

Scripture gives him almost no words, but it gives us his character. Philip said, come and see. He came, gladly. And the Lord looked at him and said, here is a true Israelite, there is no duplicity in him.

Not a performer. A witness who showed up with his whole heart and stayed.

And what a joy that this is what our parish is made of. The sacristans and the lectors, the ushers and the catechists, the ones who carry communion to the homebound, the ones who kneel here on a Tuesday for someone who will never know it.

Living stones, all of you, raised on the foundation the apostles laid. Happy feast day, and may it be a glad one.

Saint Bartholomew, apostle and martyr, pray for us. ๐Ÿ•Š๏ธ

Friends of St. Bart's, a gentle heads up: construction on one of our transformers has left the church without power for the moment. Public service is working to get it back on, and we will share an update as soon as we have one.

In the meantime, all masses today continue as usual, including the 6:30 and 8:30 AM masses Monday morning. Nothing about our gathering changes.

To our parishioners, thank you. Thank you for the patience you offer so freely, for showing up in the dim light the same way you show up in the bright, and for reminding us that a church was never really about the wiring or the walls. It is about the faces that fill the pews. We are steadied by you, and we are so grateful. You remain in our prayers, as we know we are in yours.
