St. Bartholomew Catholic Church

On Sunday, June 7 we have a special tribute to all graduates. If you or someone you know is graduating this spring, we would like to include them in a special tribute. Please send us their picture, name and school they will be attending no later than June 4th. Please send information to kdeleo@la-archdiocese.org.

If you’ve ever wondered what will happen when a loved one dies or how to plan for your own passing, don’t miss these informative, free online seminars: “My Father’s House: What to Expect When a Loved One Dies” and “How to Prepare for your own Needs from a Catholic Perspective.” Presented by Catholic Cemeteries & Mortuaries, the seminars are offered on Wednesday, May 27 at 7:00 pm and Saturday, May 30 at 11:00 am. Each talk will last about 45 minutes with a question-and-answer session to follow. They are free-of-charge, but pre-registration is required. Please register at: catholiccm.org/webinars. For more information, please contact: outreach@catholiccm.org or call (213) 637-7810.

In keeping with Governor Newsom's Stay At Home Order, Archbishop Gomez announced that churches will remain closed until further notice. All Catholics of this archdiocese have been given dispensation from the Obligation of attending Sunday Mass until further notice. Please continue to keep the Lord's day holy by choosing to watch a livestream or podcast celebration of Sunday Mass. If you would prefer to participate by watching Mass on TV, Channel 13 will air the livestream of Mass at the Cathedral of Our Lady of Angeles on Sunday mornings at 10:00.

This week St. Bartholomew is collecting food on behalf of Long Beach Veterans Hospital. Their food pantry is in need of non-perishable food products, including protein foods, canned foods, dry foods, etc. Please bring them to the Parish Hall Monday thru Thursday 9:00 am to 12 noon. Plastic bins will be located at the main doorway on Broadway. Thank you for your generosity!

St. Bartholomew needs to receive your weekly offertory donations now more than ever. Parishioners who receive offertory envelopes can mail them or drop them in the mailbox at the Rectory. Or, perhaps this is a good time to switch to supporting the church through online banking. Simply add St. Bartholomew as you would any other organization or business. Please use our mailing address: 252 Granada Avenue, Long Beach 90803.

Through Word On Fire Ministries, Bishop Robert Barron is offering daily Mass from his chapel for the foreseeable future. Scroll down on this page.
