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!

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.

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.

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.
