On Saturday Evening December 2nd, we will begin a new liturgical year with the beginning of the Holy Season of Advent. During this time we invite individuals to consider spending some extra time with the Lord and prepare their hearts by taking advantage of the gift of the Sacrament of Reconcilation.
Please note that this year the fouth Sunday of Advent falls on December 24th. Catholics are obliged to attend Mass that Sunday. In light of this please note the following schedule changes for that weekend.
Saturday Evening December 23rd: Mass at 4:30 pm and Mass at 7 pm (Quiet Mass)
Sunday Morning: Mass at 10:45 am (PLEASE NOTE THERE IS NO 8 AM MASS!)
Catholics may attend Mass both on Christmas morning for the 4th Sunday of Advent and also that evening for Christmas Day!
The clergy and staff of Saint Patrick Church would like to invite all our parishioners and guests to join us for our Christmas Masses. Our Lord welcomes all of you with OPEN ARMS!

The 4 PM CHILDREN'S MASS
Traditionally our 4 pm Mass on Christmas Eve is our Children's Mass. At this Mass the homily is geared towards our children to help them understand the importance of celebrating Christ's birth. We invite families, especially families with younger children to attend this very special Mass. Our children before Mass will lead us in song to help prepare our hearts for this special celebration.
