Religious Education
A wide variety of religious programs assist the spiritual and the moral development of our young parishioners who attend public schools. Beginning with classes in pre-kindergarten (4 years old) and continuing through the high school programs, students not only learn their Catholic Christian heritage but are also led to develop a personal relationship with Christ and a commitment to his gospel’s moral principles. They develop an understanding of the Scriptures, the meaning of the Sacraments and the richness of the Catholic tradition. At various stages of their religious development, students prepare for the celebration of First Penance, First Communion, and Confirmation. For more information, contact Mercedes Brown 954-431-3600 or by email religiouseducation@stbartholomew.com .
Children's Sunday Liturgy Children's Mass- Starts at 9 a.m.
St. Bartholomew's conducts a special Children's Church. Sunday mornings start at 9 a.m. with children in the hall, parents in church. Parents should bring their children to the parish hall before 9 a.m. Then they can go back to church for the beginning of Mass. Children will have their own worship in the hall with a scripture and music service specially tailored to these younger members of the community. Then they will come back to the church and join with their parents and the other members of the parish for the Liturgy of the Eucharist.

Interested in Becoming Catholic?
Did you ever think about becoming Catholic? Is there a friend or a member of the family with whom you could share your faith? Do you or someone else have a lot of questions seeking answers? Try us… ask, listen, share, grow. We are anxious to share with others our special Catholic vision of faith and love in Christ. We do this through our RCIA (Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults) or Catechumenate. RCIA for Adults is not like going back to school, because RCIA is more of a process of growth than a project in school. RCIA means learning not just with the head, but most importantly with the heart.

Our Catechumenate program, also called RCIA, can benefit:
• Those unbaptized persons who want to become ­Christians.
• Those baptized non-Catholic who want to join the Catholic community.
• Adult Catholics who have not yet received First ­Communion.

Call the rectory 954-431-3600 to speak with Father Paul for information. The current RCIA Program meets Tuesdays, 7:30 p.m. in the School Library.

St. Bartholomew Catholic SchoolSchool
St. Bartholomew's School is an elementary and middle school founded in 1965 to provide not only quality academics but also religious and moral formation. The School is fully accredited by the Florida Catholic Conference and continues to provide students who do well in national testing and later in high school. The teachers are committed to creating a disciplined environment; in which sound spiritual, academic, emotional, and social growth can occur. This is achieved through the cooperative efforts of the school and parish communities. At St. Bartholomew's, computers and bibles fit together in the same learning environment.
