His first assignment was as a curate at (St. John the Evangelist Church ) in Rochester, where he remained for two years.〔 In 1919, he was appointed to the faculty of St. Mary's College in Winona, where he taught Latin, Greek, and philosophy.〔 From 1928 to 1930, he studied canon law at the Apollinare University in Rome.〔 Returning to Minnesota, Bartholome served as chaplain at the motherhouse of the Sisters of Saint Francis in Rochester for three years.〔 He was pastor of St. John the Baptist Church in Caledonia from 1933 to 1936.〔 He was then named diocesan director of the Society for the Propagation of the Faith and of the Confraternity of Christian Doctrine.〔 In 1939, he returned to St. John the Evangelist Church in Rochester, serving as its pastor until 1942.〔 On December 6, 1941, Bartholome was appointed Coadjutor Bishop of Saint Cloud and Titular Bishop of ''Lete'' by Pope Pius XII.〔 He received his episcopal consecration on March 3, 1942 from Archbishop Amleto Cicognani, with Bishops Joseph Busch and John Peschges serving as co-consecrators, at St. Mary's Hospital Chapel in Rochester.〔 Upon the death of Bishop Joseph Busch, Bartholome succeeded him to become the fifth Bishop of Saint Cloud on May 31, 1953.〔 He was named an Assistant at the Pontifical Throne the following year.〔 Born and raised in a rural area, and spending his entire ministry there as well, Bartholome once said that "the dignity, independence, and freedom of men can reach its fullest stature on the farm, not in the industrial world."
