Planning Ahead: Some dates to keep in mind as we approach the summer months: - Corpus Christi Procession – Sunday, June 19, 2022 following the 5pm Mass. - St. Patrick Parish Picnic – Sunday, August 14, 2022 - NEW Parish Photo Directory photos – August 29 – September 3
On Sunday September 22nd we will transition back into the Church. The Saturday Evening Mass and the Sunday Morning Masses will be celebrated in Brenner Hall. At the conclusion of the 10:45 am Mass we will have a Eucharistic Procession back into the Church. The procession will proceed up the ramp, around the property, and in the front doors of the Church. We will have a period of five minute silent reflection, and then benediction.
Then at 5:30 pm we will celebrate the opening Mass for the 40 Days for Life with Bishop Gainer as the Main Celebrant in the Church. PLEASE NOTE: There will be NO SUNDAY evening confessions.
HELP NEEDED: As we process to the Church I ask folks to please bring with them a hymnal or two. The book racks will be installed so we have a place for them. Also after the 10:45 am Mass we can use some help taking down the chairs. Many hands make light work. Just a reminder there will be no confessions or daily Mass this week until Friday so they can install the kneelers. Then we will be back into the Church for all confessions and Masses beginning Saturday September 28th!
I wanted to post about us going back to our regular schedule on Monday September 30th. When we go back to our regular schedule there will be NO CONFESSIONS on Tuesdays. My day off from the parish will begin late Monday evening into Tuesday night. PLEASE CLICK TITLE FOR DETAILED TIMES!

Well, OK it might not be your typical paint and sip event, but we need your help. Please join us on Saturday August 3rd from 9 am – 4 pm as we work to paint the hallways and the stairwells. Many hands make light work. We are also looking for high school students to assist with babysitting. Service hours will be provided. Lunch will be provided! Bring the family…and hey the times are convenient with ending at 4 pm that one can attend the 4:30 pm Saturday evening Mass to fulfill your Sunday obligation. For those who have been helping us...thank you! Those who can help on Saturday August 3rd we will be truly appreciative for any time you can give to help us get the school ready for opening day. Think about it…painting, food, and best of all being able to fulfill one’s Sunday obligation…we call that a DEAL! Sign up in the link. Fr. C.

Important Parking Notice: Space in the small lot is limited during construction. Parish staff (including the pastor himself) have been asked to park in the main lot during regular office hours. Two employee spots are needed for Father Hoa and Sister Monica. The other three have been opened up. However, in the evening (after 5 pm) all Staff Parking is reserved for the clergy and parish staff. The few parking spots (including the area at the front door of the office) are to be reserved for those who have trouble with mobility. All other individuals attending evening meetings are asked to park in the Main Church Lot. We apologize for the inconvenience.
I have been made aware that there is someone sending an email out saying that I need help. PLEASE DO NOT RESPOND TO THIS EMAIL!!! It is a SCAM. I do not need help (other than headache medicine for dealing with this). If you receive an email supposedly from me, please ignore it or call the parish office to let us know. Thank you! Sincerely, Father Carroll
