Hi everyone,

 

The summer is coming to an end and I think all of us would agree that this year of 2020 is very unique and challenging. We still have a few months left in it. A special word of thanks to all who have been so faithfully supporting us through financial giving. The parish has been outstanding in its giving.

 

Also, a word of thanks to all the volunteers who have been so very helpful in keeping St. Patrick’s hall clean and healthy. In addition, our telecare ministry (a new ministry) is making calls to all our parish members to see how they are doing. We are also looking to
see if there are any needs we can meet or help with as families and individuals are challenged by the unique circumstances we live in.  Many thanks to the telecare volunteers for their service.

 

A special word of thanks to Judy Plitt and her staff of the Kitchen door ministry as they have been so faithfully serving the poor in our area through this pandemic.

 

We will be starting a fall seminar beginning September 3 and running for three consecutive weeks. It is called “Discovering Our Church Family”. It will be on September 3, 10 and 17th outside in the staff 
Parking lot. Bring your own chair and bible. Registration will be through Sign-Up Genius. It is from 6:30 pm to 7:15 pm.

 

Please check out our web site for our liturgical schedule during the week. We have created multiple times for mass, adoration and confession. Also, we are making plans and hope to be live streaming one of our
weekend masses starting the end of September. We know that there are many of our parishioners who are not able to come to mass. So we are working to make that happen for them and reach a wider population than just our registered members.

 

Also on our web site, you will find a number of bible studies and the Daily word for your spiritual growth.
While these can be uncertain and challenging times, a people who know the character of their God and themselves as His sons and daughters, can see this time through the eyes of faith. Then we can see the opportunities that lay before us to make known the hope and good news found in Christ. “For such a time as this we have been born.”

 

Yours in the Lord,

 

Fr. Dale
