Have you taken a Rice Bowl and are you using it? Please return them to the St. Patrick Church the week of April 1-8th.

This weekend, we are asked to give of our treasure to the Bishop’s Appeal for 2012. We are asked as the Diocese of Oakland, people of God, to contribute $2.1 million to help spread and maintain our Catholic faith and to help others to come to know and love the faith we have been given by so many others.

Who will benefit and how will St. Patrick Parish, Rodeo—Hercules benefit?
1. Funds will help Religious Education and Faith Formation for all students.
2. Clergy Formation and Retirement—funds are needed to educate and prepare the next< generation of priests and to help maintain the middle aged priests and to ensure that in their retirement, they have what they need.
3. Support for our local Catholic schools and parishes, especially those that are really struggling and may have to close.
4. For our CYO operations and for our Youth Ministries, the next generation.
5. Marriage and Family life.

An 8-minute video highlighting ministries, services and programs supported through the Diocese of Oakland’s Annual Bishop Appeal will be shown in the hall after Mass. You may also view the video here.
