The religious education students from St. Anthony’s and St. Bartholomew’s parishes put on their annual Christmas pageant on Sunday, December 15.  We had angels, shepherds, three kings and the “parents “ of the child Jesus. Afterwards we had baked goods, juice and coffee for all Mass attendees. After all, the actors should be rewarded!

At 9:30 on Sunday, July 14, St. Bartholomew’s and St. Anthony’s Churches had a joint outdoor Mass by the pond in Old Forge. Over 250 people attended the service, making this one of the largest attended Masses in some time! Fr. Kornmeyer announced that he may make this an annual event.

Bishop Terry LaValley visited Saint Bartholomew’s church on Sunday, August 4 where he concelebrated the 11:00am Mass. Celebrating with him were Fr. Thomas Kornmeyer, our pastor, Fr. Monohar Salla, our summer assistant priest, Fr. Philip Allen, of Indian Lake, Fr. Sony Pulickal of Lake Pleasant and our own Deacon Timothy Foley. We were proud to show the bishop our four active altar servers, members of the Chiodo family. A big thank you to  our active hosts and hostesses who put on a reception for all after the Mass: Anna Marie and Ray Restani, Dan Roberts, Jean Van Valkenburg, Amy Craska and Kelly and Mick Jones.

On Sunday, November 11, 2024, St. Bartholomew's and St. Anthony's parishes said farewell to our favorite deacon, Timothy Foley and his wife, Patty. Dozens showed up to wish them well as they are moving to a more populated area! Deacon Tim asked for his favorite food for the party: donuts. The Knights gave the deacon two dozen golf balls to help him improve his game. We will all miss Deacon Tim!
