Dear People of St. Patrick Parish,

The Scripture readings today, have great words of wisdom for all of us as we live our Christian lives.

In the first reading, Jeremiah the prophet is struggling with how people are treating him as he speaks the words that God has told Him to preach. But His faith in God’s love for Him and knowing God will help him gives us the courage in living our Faith when we are suffering anything in our lives.

St. Paul tells the Romans that Adam, the first man disobeyed God and brought sin and death into the world and we all inherit sin and death because of him and the Devil.

But St. Paul also tells us that our loving God sent Jesus His Son, to make up for sins and to give us the chance to one day be with the Father and Son in Heaven.

The Gospel of Matthew has Jesus telling us that if we acknowledge Jesus, Jesus will be happy to acknowledge us before His Father and welcome us into Heaven.

Happy Father’s Day to all fathers, grandfathers and godfathers both living and deceased. Our Fathers cooperated with God the Father in bringing us into the world and teaching us and guiding us by their love for us to God our loving Father in Heaven.

Today, we thank Ron Asuncion for being our Director of Faith Formation here at St. Patrick Parish for several years.

We also wish him well as he begins a new position of ministry in another Parish in the Diocese and our prayers and love go with him.

The Parish is in the process of seeking the best way to go forth in this very important Ministry in the Church. Please pray that the Holy Spirit will guide us.

Again, thank you, Ron and we hope you can still be a resource for St. Patrick Parish.

God Bless,
Fr. Larry Young
Your Pastor
