Dear People of St. Patrick Parish,

Our Parish is so blessed to have had many good things happen as we celebrated our Patron Saint Patrick. So many of his parishioners came together and made the annual St. Patrick Dinner/Dance a great event. Thank you to everyone who made it happen.

Also, St. Patrick helped several parishioners to recover from some serious illnesses. Also, even helped someone to pass their driving test, see He loves the people of St. Patrick, Rodeo-Hercules. I am so sorry I had to miss the event, but the Devil likes some of the time to keep the Irish from having fun on the great and Holy events of March 17th.

The reading from Exodus today, has God tell Moses that Gods’ name is, “I am who am.”  That means he is the creator of all things. The great words of God to Moses, “This is  my name forever; thus am I to be remembered through all generations.” Yes, those of us living in 2025 need to remember this fact.

Paul’s letter to the Corinthians today, reminds us that God does punish so that we might not desire evil things and to stand firm against the devils evil ways and make sure we do not end up in Hell.

The Gospel of Luke gives us a great example of how God always tries to save us from sin and offer us a chance to be saved.

Are we today like the fig tree planted in the garden? When God comes to claim us will we be good fruit and be ready to go to heaven or will we be rotten fruit ready for hell.

This time of Lent gives us a good time to look at our sins, be sorry for them, go to Confession and keep growing in our faith and keeping the Commandments.

Please pray for 45 of those to receive the Sacrament of Confirmation, Thursday evening. We are so proud of our students and adults being Confirmed.

God Bless,
Fr. Larry Young
Your Pastor
