Dear People of St. Patrick Parish,

In the first reading today, we are told the number of followers of Christ the New Christians increased greatly in the early days of the Church founded by Jesus Christ.

As we look about in St. Patrick Catholic Church today, we do see more people attending Mass. We are blessed with new families and more children, and we thank God for the responses’ of the children going to Liturgy of the Word and how excited they are to learn about their God and are growing in Faith.

Jesus tells his disciples: “Do not let your hearts be troubled. You have faith in God; have faith in me. In my Father’s house there are many dwelling places.”

All Christians should take to heart these words of Jesus and live in joy in our Catholic Parishes and await the day when we can all be joyful and at peace in heaven and live the way God intended when He created the world.

As we begin the month of May, we celebrate our children receiving their First Holy Communion. Our children are graduating from their schools and going on in life with good foundations.

Let us also remember Mother’s Day, Sunday, May 10th and thank God for our mothers.

May is also the month that we praise and celebrate our Blessed Mother, Mary the mother of Jesus. We should try to pray the Rosary and ask Mary to help us to get to heaven and then she can welcome us and take us to her beloved Son.

In this bulletin you will find the Statement of Activity for the first three months of the 2026 Parish Budget. We need prayers to help us improve and meet our Parish needs.

God Bless,
Fr. Larry Young
Your Pastor
