Dear Friends,
Welcome to St. Bartholomew Catholic community. The true strength of our community is its diversity, centered in Christ. We are richly blessed with a great mixture of cultures in Columbus so don't be surprised when you hear multiple different languages being spoken. Our community is made up of people of all ages, states-in-life, and talents. Regardless of your nation of origin, if you are here permanently or on a temporary work assignment, if you are married, engaged, single, youthful or more “mature,” a parent or grandparent… I pray you feel welcome here. My sincere hope is that St. B’s will become a true spiritual home where you can grow in your love of God and love of neighbor.
We are very proud of our grade school with its history spanning more than 150 years. Our school offers outstanding education for children from kindergarten through eighth grade. It is a Christ-centered school with excellent academics, strong athletics, and opportunities for service. If you have school-age children, please consider St. B. school as an option for their education. Scholarships and State Choice Vouchers are available so a private Catholic education is affordable for all.
For non-school families, we have an excellent Children’s Faith Formation program for all ages of youth. Sacramental Prep classes are available in English, Spanish and Portuguese!
I hope you will find opportunities to grow in your faith, share your talents, and become a true disciple of Christ. We strive to be an open and welcoming community with many opportunities for young and old alike to be active and involved.
Let us know if there is anything that we can do to help your faith grow. Thank you for choosing St. Bartholomew.
Peace and All Good,
Fr. Chris Wadelton
