The Feast of Saint Bartholomew the Apostle, celebrated on August 24, honors one of the Twelve whose faithful witness endures even though Scripture tells us little about him.

Named in the Gospels of Matthew, Mark, and Luke, Bartholomew—meaning “son of Tolmai”—is often identified with Nathanael, the friend of Philip in John’s Gospel. When Jesus called him, Nathanael responded with honest skepticism, only to be recognized by Jesus as “an Israelite without guile.” Upon realizing who stood before him, Nathanael proclaimed, “Rabbi, you are the Son of God.”

Ancient tradition holds that Bartholomew carried the gospel to distant lands, including India, where the teacher Pantaenus reportedly found a Hebrew copy of Matthew’s Gospel left behind by him. Later accounts place his martyrdom at Albanopolis in Armenia, where he was said to have been flayed alive for his faith.

Bartholomew’s life reminds the church of the courage to bear witness even when unseen and of the call to proclaim Christ with integrity, steadfastness, and truth.

We want to express our deepest gratitude to our Parish Administrator, Teri Coviello! Over the past four years, Teri has been instrumental in the growth, vitality, and spirit of our parish. Her dedication, talent, compassion, and steady presence have blessed St. Bart’s in countless ways, and we are profoundly grateful for all she has given.

This Sunday, August 16, we will host a celebratory coffee hour to thank and acknowledge Teri's tenure at St. Bart's. We hope you’ll join us to thank her personally and let her know how much her ministry has meant to you and to our parish community.
