As we continue with the design of our site, our hope is that we will
be
able to utilize the Internet to keep you updated on the events
and
happenings within our parish.
You'll notice that our site also includes a linkage to a number of Catholic
directories. Accessing these directories will enable you link up
with the
worldwide Catholic community on the Internet, and to locate more
than
5,000 Catholic web sites that are currently online.
The Internet is further proof that technology, properly utilized, can
advance
the honor and glory of God.
In fact, the Catechism of the Catholic Church teaches, that science
and
technology are precious resources, if they are utilized and
developed to
benefit all.
And, on World Communication Day, in 1989, Pope John Paul II said,
"let
us pray for wisdom in using the potential of the computer age
to serve man's
human and transcendent calling, and thus give glory to the Father
from
whom all good things come."
The Internet has many wonderful resources on it that support our
Catholic
faith. And, it can be a great tool for bringing Catholics
together, and for
evangelizing the world.
Our hope is that the links that the St. Bartholomew Parish has
attached to
its website will be the gateway that helps you to connect with
God in
cyberspace.
Please come back and visit us often.
Deacon John S. Brennan
