60th Anniversary Capital Campaign
Since September 2019, we have been planning a
capital campaign for St. Bartholomew in support of our parish facilities. In light of the COVID-19 pandemic, we decided to delay the start of this
initiative until we could gather together again as a parish family.
While physical buildings do not make a parish, they are essential to fulfilling the mission of Jesus Christ by welcoming, supporting, and guiding all through prayer, fellowship, worship, and education. We at Saint Bartholomew are committed to the future of our parish, and most especially, our parishioners.
Today, I am pleased to invite you to watch our 60th
Anniversary Campaign Video, and to formally announce the start of this initiative! Our campaign
video, as well as additional material on the campaign, can be found on St. Bartholomew’s
website - https://stbartseb.org.
Offertory Collection December 26/27
Collection will be reported in the next bulletin.
Thank you!

Happy New Year!
On behalf of Fr. Thomas, Fr. James, the Deacons, our parish staff, Mrs. Wierzbicki,
our principal, and our faculty & staff!
Today the Church celebrates the Solemnity of the
Epiphany. "The Lord and ruler is coming; kingship is his, and government and power." With these words the Church proclaims that today's feast brings to a
perfect fulfillment all the purposes of Advent. Epiphany, therefore, marks the liturgical zenith of the
Advent-Christmas season. — Pius Parsch
The Solemnity of the Epiphany is celebrated either on January 6 or, according to the decision of the
episcopal conference, on the Sunday between January 2 and January 8. The young Messiah is revealed as the light of the nations. Yet, as the antiphon for the Magnificat at Second Vespers
reminds us, three mysteries are encompassed in this solemnity: the adoration of the Christ Child by the
Magi, the Baptism of Christ and the wedding feast at Cana. Extra candles and/or lamps may be placed
around the sanctuary and in other parts of the church to honor Christ revealed as the Light of the Gentiles (Ceremonial of Bishops). It is customary to replace
the images of the shepherds at the crib with the three Magi and their gifts.
Let us pray…
May the splendor of your majesty, O Lord, we pray, shed its light upon our hearts, that we may pass through the shadows of this world and reach the
brightness of our eternal home. Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns with you
in the unity of the Holy Spirit, God, for ever and ever.
Amen!
