In Case You've Been Wondering
We haven't forgotten! A beautiful candle stand was ordered and we have been anxiously awaiting its arrival. As with most things of late, it is taking its own sweet time getting here. When it arrives it will be placed in front of the statues of Mary and Joseph that face the altar and reside in the south end of the sanctuary. Hopefully you will see it soon!

August 24,
Feast of St. Bartholomew, Apostle
St. Bartholomew, a doctor in Jewish law, was a dear friend of St. Philip the Apostle. Because Bartholomew was a man "in whom there was no guile," his mind was open to the truth. He went willingly with Philip to see Christ and recognized the Savior immediately as the Son of God. After having received the gifts of the Holy Spirit on the first Pentecost, Bartholomew evangelized Asia Minor, northwestern India, and Greater Armenia. In the latter country, while preaching to idolaters, he was arrested and condemned to death.
