St. Patrick Catholic Church

May 10, 2026

Dear People of St. Patrick Parish,

Today, we honor and thank all mothers, grandmothers, godmothers, and so many women who show motherly love and care to so many others.

During the month of May, we Catholics honor and thank the blessed Mother Mary who gave birth to Jesus, the Son of God who was born to teach us to know, love and serve God. May is the month that we pray to the Blessed Mother, to watch over and care for our mothers and to ask Mary to help all of us live good lives and get to heaven and let her welcome us and show us Jesus her loving and caring Son.

Please take time to look in the Parish bulletin, to see the lovely prayer to Mary, “Lovely Lady Dressed in Blue.”

Today, we also welcome the children of the Parish who now join us at the Table of The Lord as they receive Jesus in Holy Communion for the second time. Do we still remember our First Holy Communion even if it was long time ago?

We take the words of Jesus in the Gospel to heart, “And whoever loves me will be loved by my Father, and I will love him and reveal myself to him.”

Most of us were taught and showed how to do this as children by the actions and love of our parents. Remember mom making us pray and tell God, we love Him. Oh, also, mom guided us through learning the Ten Commandments and how to obey them.

God Bless,
Fr. Larry Young
Your Pastor
