St. Bartholomew Roman Catholic Church

About this church

St. Bartholomew Roman Catholic Church celebrates weekend Mass in the new church Saturday at 4 p.m. and Sunday at 7:30 and 10:30 a.m. Daily Mass is held in the historic church Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday at 8:30 a.m.; Wednesday Mass is at noon. Confession is available Saturdays from 3 to 3:45 p.m. or by appointment, and Friday Eucharistic Adoration runs from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Weather cancellations follow Carroll County Public Schools: delays or closures cancel morning daily Mass, Wednesday noon Mass, and Adoration as applicable.

The historic church has served Manchester-area Catholics since 1865 and remains in use for smaller ceremonies and weekday worship, while the larger new church accommodates weekend liturgies. Family catechesis meets twice monthly, with a morning option on third Sundays and an evening option on fourth Sundays, plus selected family faith activities. Separate preparation supports Reconciliation, First Communion, and Confirmation. Young people in grades 6–12 belong to the parish youth group and may invite friends. A home-visitor ministry brings Holy Communion to parishioners who are hospitalized or unable to attend. The site does not describe Mass length, music, parking, step-free routes between the two churches, assistive listening, child care, attire, livestreaming, or Communion guidance for non-Catholic guests.
