History

The need for a parish became apparent in the 1950s. A new parish called Saint Bartholomew's was created on June 12, 1959 under Father J. Morgan Kelly. The new parish consisted of 879 families who wanted a new school. The school was founded in 1964 with 130 pupils in first and second grade, with a new grade level added each year.

In 1982, the parish was assimilated into the Diocese of Metuchen under Bishop Theodore E. McCarrick.

The 1984-85 year added morning and afternoon kindergarten.

In 2008, Thomas Walsh was installed as the new presiding pastor.[2]
