Here at St. Bartholomew, it is our privilege to offer Christ’s preferential attention to senior parishioners in need of the companionship and assistance of the local community. Anyone who is suffering prolonged illness or who is homebound due to age or physical limitations should contact the Parish Office at 301-229-7933. If you have a family member or know of a neighbor who needs to receives the Sacraments at home, please also contact the Parish Office. We have Extraordinary Ministers of the Eucharist who will normally bring the Holy Eucharist and help to schedule visits from a priest for reception of other sacraments, but during the current pandemic they are not able to visit homes. Please call the office at 301-229-7933.

Bartholomew House
Bartholomew House: Bartholomew House is part of Victory Housing, the non-profit development arm of the Archdiocese of Washington which has been deeply committed to providing quality housing and services for over two decades. Bartholomew House opens its doors to all qualified seniors without any limitation or discrimination. Staff encourages the residents to enjoy an independent lifestyle while receiving all the conveniences of home, from delicious home made meals to housekeeping services. Thus, the residents have more time to socialize, participate in recreational activities, or just read a favorite novel. The residents also enjoy peace of mind, knowing that when supportive services are needed, the caring staff members are there to assist them. You may reach Yenny Dawson, Director, at 301-320-6151 or additional information is available at Victory Housing.

“I had the great blessing of growing up in a family in which faith was lived in a simple, practical way. However, it was my paternal grandmother in particular who influenced my journey of faith. She was a woman who explained to us, who talked to us about Jesus, who taught us the Catechism....This is how I received my first Christian proclamation, from this very woman, from my grandmother! This is really beautiful! The first proclamation at home, in the family!”
