The Parish Office remains closed until advised otherwise. Contact Forms, emails and answerphone messages will be replied to as soon as it is possible to do so. Please do not call at the presbytery without first contacting us, unless your need is urgent.

Mass and Confession times

Masses: Sunday 18:15 (Mass of Anticipation), 08:30, 11:30 and 17:00 and Monday to Saturday 10:00
Confessions: Saturday after 10:00 Mass until 11:30.
Track & Trace Forms still apply. It is important that we continue using Track and Trace forms every time we visit the church, even if attending twice in one day. The use of these forms enabled us to contact everybody concerned prior to the closure back in January.
 
Should you have or suspect you have symptoms, and you have attended St. Bartholomew's (or any other church), it is vital that you arrange a NHS test, either online or by calling 119. You must provide details of your attendance at church as one of your contacts - they can then contact us directly which speeds up the process of tracing everybody who needs to know.

Face coverings remain mandatory. Stewards will be on duty (see appeal below). NHS & Public Health guidelines apply. The Obligation to attend Sunday Mass remains suspended by our Bishops.
Please consider contributing to this survey, selecting the 'Archdiocese of Southwark' from the drop-down menu, so that we can hear about what God has been doing and what he wants to say to us about the future of the Church. Your parish is not revealed. The survey takes about 10 minutes to complete and the deadline for submission is 4 July 2021. Complete the Survey

Appeal for Stewards

We rely on a small number of parishioners to steward at all Masses and to sanitise the church afterwards. If ever there are insufficient people to perform this ministry, we may have to cancel Masses without notice, as it is a condition of being able to open that we have stewards available. Please consider putting yourself forward to add to our team of stewards. You must be 18 or over and free from symptoms of COVID, whether actual or suspected. Please contact Father Deo if you are interested and indeed well enough to take on this role. If you have not been a steward before, you will be shown what you need to do.

June is the month of the Sacred Heart of Jesus

The Sacred Heart of Jesus is the revelation of God’s immense love for us. It is often depicted as a fiery furnace, pierced and broken, but beating with love. The Sacred Heart is also a profound reminder of the humanity of our Lord, for his heart is not a mere symbol, but a true physical reality.

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.
