Our reliance on contributions from the pew, which has served us so well in the past, today has the potential for a catastrophic impact on vulnerable churches and communities that rely on support from our annual appeals.  Consider mailing in your second collections and/or special collections.  Here are a few that are coming up: 

• January 24:  Latin American and Catholic Communications
• February 17:  Church in Central and Eastern Europe
• During Lent:  Rice Bowl.   Pick up a Rice Bowl in the Hall, fill it and return by March 28

Parishioners can join us by reserving a spot each Sunday and Tuesday.

Sunday Mass is at 8:00 am

Tuesday Mass is at 5:30 pm

We ask that you call the Parish Office at 482-6818 to reserve your spot.

Sunday Masses will be Livestreamed on
St. Patrick's Facebook page.

Thank you!

• Sunday still remains the Lord's Holy Day during this time of turbulence.  Take time to view Mass on TV or online, read the Scriptures, attend to daily prayer, pray as a family, spend time with the Rosary and/or the divine Mercy Chaplet.
