Dear People of St. Patrick Parish,
The First reading today, shows us how the Holy Spirit, that Jesus had promised to send guided the early Catholic Church in making difficult decisions that affected the people of God. Lord, we really need to have the Holy Spirit help our world today.
The Gospel of John has Jesus tell the apostles that God the Father will send the Holy Spirit, to remind them of everything that Jesus had taught them.
In two weeks, we will celebrate Pentecost Sunday and seeing that promise fulfilled.
We hear Jesus tell the Apostles, “Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you.”
Before we receive Holy Communion at Mass the priest says, “The peace of the Lord be with you always.”
With these words in our mind, we then receive the Body and Blood of Jesus in Holy Communion, and we let Jesus bring His peace into our hearts. It is this peace that can help us reach Heaven one day.
Monday is Memorial Day, when we pray for the Preservation of Peace and Justice in the world, remember especially those men and women who served in the service of their countries and for those who gave their lives. We need peace in the world.
Come to Mass at 9:00am and join in Prayer for Peace and for all our beloved dead.
Saturday, May 31, is our Prish Event Harvest of Hope from 11:00am-3:00pm, a time to raise money to help the parish and to have fun and relax. Tickets are available outside the Church people today. We are grateful to the many people coming together to make this special event happen.
God Bless,
Fr. Larry Young
Your Pastor
