St. Bartholomew

We are asking you to please be cautious of texts and emails that you are receiving under the name of Fr. Nick or Fr. Brown. We have had instances where parishioners and parish staff have received a message from Fr. Nick asking for a favor or for you to buy gift cards for him. This is NOT Father. He will Never ask you to buy something for him and tell you he will reimburse you. He won’t ask you for a “favor” either. This is all part of the scam. Do not respond and delete the messages. Please be careful.

Our Parish Target: $29,500 Thanks to those who have already responded with a gift to the 2019 Catholic Services Appeal. To date we have raised $12,784 toward our goal. There is still plenty of time to respond with a gift to this year’s Appeal. Gifts can be made through our parish office, or online at www.ArchLou.org/CSA.

How Can You, Our Parishioners, Get Involved? Monetary Donations for turkeys, pies and rolls.
