Thanks to Father Jason Malave for allowing me to take photos as he showed me around the parish rectory. Father Jason is an old gym buddy turned good friend, so while I’ll do my best not to tease, I can’t make any promises. Also, I don’t call him Father Jason in real life. Nor do I call him Malave, but that’s got a nice ring to it, so perhaps I’ll start. Unlike most Open House stars, St. Bartholomew’s Father Jason Malave doesn’t own or rent his space. Free housing’s one of the benefits
