The financial support of St. Bartholomew Catholic Church and the Archdiocese of Indianapolis is a reflection of our gratitude for the grace that God grants us. But each of us is also endowed with unique abilities and interests that also reflect God's blessings and our service in Christ.
"The way we came to know love was that he laid down his life for us; so we ought to lay down our lives for our brothers. Children, let us love not in word or speech but in deed and truth."
- 1 John, 3:16, 18
Every November, the United Catholic Appeal asks parishioners to renew their financial or volunteer commitments. Also, you can set up an automatic donation to withdraw money from your bank account on a predetermined date. Below are examples of these forms:
El apoyo financiero de la Iglesia Católica San Bartolomé y la Arquidiócesis de Indianápolis es un reflejo de nuestra gratitud por la gracia que Dios nos concede.

"La forma en que llegamos a conocer el amor fue que él dio su vida por nosotros; así que nosotros debemos dar nuestra vida por nuestros hermanos. Hijitos, no amemos de palabra ni de palabra, sino de hecho y en verdad".
- 1 Juan, 3:16, 18

St. Bartholomew Catholic School has partnered with the Institute for Quality Education (IQE) as our official Scholarship Granting Organization (SGO). An SGO is a state-designated 501(c)(3) that provides financial needs-based scholarships to students enrolled in non-public schools.
By giving a gift through IQE and designating it to St. Bartholomew, you will be providing needs-based scholarships to eligible incoming and current St. B's students. As a donor, not only are you providing much needed scholarships, but you will also qualify for a 50% INDIANA STATE TAX CREDIT. Additionally, the total is still eligible for a federal tax deduction. This program is not only available to individuals, but to companies as well.
