Located at the crossroads of Main Street and Silver Road in Leverett, Massachusetts, St. Bartholomew's Parish is easy to find. Founded in 1905 as the Peace Chapel, the name of the church was officially changed to St. Bartholomew's Parish in 1954. After five building projects and expansions, the church is now completely different from how it started out back in 1905. As God continues to call His children back to Himself, we have found the need to keep pushing out our walls. In 1997 the children's wing was added to help accommodate our vibrant children and youth departments. To God be the glory for all He has done and is doing here!

Throughout the year the church body offers much to the community, such as the Singing Christmas Tree presentation, which has been performed annually since 1974; the Passion Play and Lord's Last Supper presentations at Easter; a 50,000 egg Easter Egg Hunt for children of the surrounding communities (many parents have been witnessed having a great time too!); the July 4th Family Picnic and much, much more.

St. Bartholomew's Parish is a Catholic church affiliated with the Diocese in Springfield, Massachusetts. We believe that the Bible is the inspired Word of God. It is studied in all worship services, Sunday School and Adult Christian Education classes, and during times when the women, men, or other small groups meet together. God gives every believer spiritual gifts so that they can glorify Him and edify others. Bethany encourages everyone to put these gifts into practice by getting involved.

As you explore these pages we hope that you will find what you're looking for. If there are questions left unanswered, please feel free to call or e-mail us. We openly invite you to come and visit. Bethany may be the church home that you've been looking for!
