NOW IS THE TIME TO GO ONLINE. We are in a period of uncertainty due to the Coronavirus pandemic. To safeguard our collection counters and staff, we are offering parishioners a way to continue sacrificial giving electronically. You are invited to register through Faith Direct https://membership.faithdirect.net/TX896 This platform will allow you to make regular offertory contributions (monthly, weekly, one-time or catchup) without leaving the safety of your home. You may also contribute to the second collections through Faith Direct, as well as to our outreach ministries. If online giving is not feasible for you, feel free to do one of the following:
Attn: Jamie Williams, Bookkeeping Dept. 5356 11TH Street, Katy, TX 77493 Thank you for your continued support of St. Bartholomew the Apostle Catholic Church. Our prayers are with you and your family to stay prayerful and safe. |

I prayerfully request that you consider joining the many families who use Faith Direct to fulfill their very generous stewardship commitments to our parish and the wider church. Through Faith Direct you can make all of your contributions to St. Bartholomew via automatic payment from your checking account or credit card – just as you may do now with your mortgage, household bills, and other monthly payments. This is a great way to simplify your giving – and it’s the most cost-effective, environmentally-friendly way for us to receive your gifts. Ways to GiveElectronic Giving brings consistency to our budget and helps our parish use our financial resources effectively.
