A Message from Our Pastor

July 28, 2024

Dear People of St. Patrick Parish,

Today, we hear St. Paul tell the Ephesians, and he intended that same message to apply to all of us.

We have received the call through our Baptism and so we are to live in a
manner worthy of that call with all HUMILITY AND GENTLENESS with
PATIENCE. We are to bear with one another through love and to see PEACE.

As Catholics we are fed with the Sacred Body and Blood of Jesus Christ in Holy Communion at Mass. This beautiful Sacrament helps us to live the message of St. Paul as taught by Jesus.

Together with hearing the word of God spoken to us and then being fed with the Bread of Life, we can live the way God wants us to live.

Yes, we need to be at Mass and to receive Holy Communion.

Today, under the title, “RADIATE LOVE,” the Bishops of California invite every Catholic to celebrate the beauty and goodness of marriage and family.

Our Parish will be making an effort to help couples who are not married in the Church at this time, to be able to have their civil marriage blessed in the Church.

We will also be having some religious family events that the whole family can come together and pray and let God help their family to grow in love for one another.

Also today, the Church celebrates Grandparents and Parents Day. We pause today and reflect on the fact that because of these people, we are alive and hopefully they helped to lead us in Faith to our God.

Happy Grandparents, Parents and Elderly Day to all.

God Bless,
Fr. Larry Young
Your Pastor
