Parish History
The Parish of St. Bartholomew in the community of Silver Lake was organized in 1905 by Rev. Domenico Belliotti, P.S.S.C., then the Pastor of Holy Ghost Church in Federal Hill. Services were first held in the San Liberato Hall on 621 Union Avenue until the first Church, located on Moorefield Street, was dedicated on September 22, 1907. A Shrine and Park now stands in the location of that first Church. 
From 1907 till 1911 the Parish was considered a filial mission of Holy Ghost Parish on Federal Hill and was staffed by the Pastor, Rev. Domenico Belliotti, P.S.S.C., and the Priests of Holy Ghost - Rev. Vittorio Gregori, P.S.S.C. - 1907 - 1908; Rev. Nicolino Armento, P.S.S.C. - 1908 - 1910
St. Bartholomew's became an independent Parish in 1910 with the Rev. Leonard Quaglia as the first resident Pastor. 
In 1969, because of the increase in size of the Parish throughout the years, a new and larger Church was built next to the Parish School on Laurel Hill Avenue. 
The Parish is staffed by the Missionary Fathers of St. Charles Borromeo (Congregation of Scalabrinians - C.S.)
