A Message from Our Pastor

March 01, 2026

Dear People of St. Patrick Parish,

On this second Sunday of Lent, we might ask ourselves how did this Catholic Faith come about? What can lead us to believe in the Catholic Church
founded by Jesus Christ?

First of all, God selected Abram later to be named Father Abraham, the father of a host of nations, to maintain God’s Covenant with God’s people and lead the people to God.

Second, God selected Moses to lead the people under God and gave to him the Ten Commandments for the people to follow and that also includes all people including you and me.

Third, He appoints Elijah and the other Prophets to reveal His words to all people and again that includes all of us.

Oh, my God, He sends Jesus, His Divine Son to earth to teach us, guide us, give us our Seven Sacraments and yes, to die and rise from the dead to destroy sin and death.

When God let Jesus, Peter, James and John experience Him on the mountain and sends Moses and Elijah to converse with Jesus the three Apostles heard God say, “This is my beloved Son, with whom I am well pleased; listen to him.”

These three disciples after the death and resurrection of Jesus revealed this vision to all of us. Our Catholic Faith is based on all of this.

We teach our children all this not only by word but also by our own actions.

Yes, we can take joy in our belief in God’s plans for us, we go to Mass, pray the Stations of the Cross. We also attend and listen to our choirs sing and motivate us to prayers by concerts, next Saturday evening.

Oh, yes, God the Father and Jesus smile on us, Saturday, March 14th as we celebrate St. Patrick and His love for God by attending our Parish Dinner/Dance. Let God smile on you as you come and have fun.

God Bless,
Fr. Larry Young
Your Pastor
