“Catholic parents must learn to form their family as a ‘domestic church,’ a church in the home as it were, where God is honored, his law is respected, prayer is a normal event, virtue is transmitted by word and example, and everyone shares the hopes, the problems and sufferings of everyone else. All this is not to advocate a return to some outdated style of living: It is to return to the roots of human development and human happiness!” – Pope John Paul II
Dear Parents and Guardians,
Welcome to the family catechesis (pronounced kat-eh-kee-sis) program at St. Bartholomew Catholic Church. Family catechesis is an alternative to traditional CCD where the parents meet monthly to learn more about and explore their faith. They transmit that faith to their own children at home with the help of resources provided.
Family of Faith_ Parent Overview.
There are normally two meetings a month; one where the parents gather and discuss the lessons for the month and one community meeting where we gather for fellowship as a community. See our calendar below. It will be updated, so be sure to check back.
On the horizon:
Our next parent meeting will be Thursday, March 11th at 7:00 pm in the historic church and available virtually. *This is a change*

March 19 St._Joseph This is a solemnity! That means that, even though it falls on a Friday, you can treat it like a Sunday of Lent! That’s how special St. Joseph is to our faith.
March 25 The_Annunciation Another Solemnity! Note that it falls exactly nine months before Christmas.
