We all strive to live faithful lives, in the hope we will return to our Creator after a natural death, to enjoy eternal life with Him. When you move onto the next life, you can make your lifetime of faith live on through a gift in your Will.
We all desire to make a difference in the lives of our families and friends, and within our communities. A gift in your Will to St Bart’s, no matter how big or small, is a wonderful way to support our church. If you are interested in leaving a Gift in your Will please contact the Parish Office who can provide further information and guidance. The link below also provides further information if you want to take some time to learn some more about the options. www.rcsouthwark.co.uk/donate/leave-a-legacy/ Saturday Mass of Anticipation at 18:15

Friday Adoration returns to St. Bart's on Friday 4 September, from after the 10:00 Mass until Benediction at 22:00. Archbishop John Wilson encourages us to make Eucharistic Adoration a part of your prayer life: The theme of Jubilee 2025 is “pilgrims of hope”, with Pope Francis calling on the world to “fan the flame of hope that has been given us”. Archbishop John Wilson explained the Lord Jesus “is the reason for the hope within us” and called on us all to become Eucharistic disciples this year by finding hope in Eucharistic adoration.

 Many congratulations to one of our younger parishioners, Jonathan Vasallo, who completed the near 900-mile cycle ride from Lands End to John O'Groats in only 11 days, riding in memory of his beloved Grandparents, whilst raising £1224.00 for the Alzheimer's Society. Well done Jonathan! A terrific achievement!
Further donations in support of Jonathan's superb achievement can be made online from HERE.  St. Augustine of Hippo is a Doctor of the Church and one of the most influential theologians in Western Christianity. To mark the election of our first Augustinian Pope, Leo XIV, the St. Bart’s Spiritual Discussion Group has created a short programme on the life of St. Augustine and his mother St. Monica.
The programme starts on Thursday 28 August (St Augustine’s Feast Day) at 19:30, and will run for each of the following four Thursdays. All are welcome, even if you can’t make every session, and you can sign up here: https://tinyurl.com/HippoDoctor.  Archbishop John welcomes the news that St. John Henry Newman is to be a Doctor of the Church. The Vatican announced that Pope Leo XIV will declare St. John Henry Newman a Doctor of the Catholic Church.
Responding to the news, Archbishop John said: "The announcement that St. John Henry Newman will become a Doctor of the Catholic Church will fill the hearts of English Catholics with so much joy. It will also be welcomed by Catholics around the world for whom St. John Henry is an inspiring theologian and apologist for the Catholic faith."

Accessibility - St. Bartholomew's does its utmost to accommodate those with additional needs. Whilst the main body of the church is wholly accessible to people with mobility disabilities, the choir gallery is both approached by stairs and the seating is then stepped by design. The church has a wheelchair-accessible toilet, and baby-changing facilities. There is a Loop System (AFIL) in place in the church.
