Back in September 2014, Father Carroll introduced the theme “Labor of Love,” reminding us that we all play a vital role in the life of our parish. During those couple weeks as a parish we focused on the three T’s (Time, Talent, Treasure). Saint Patrick Church is blessed with many dedicated volunteers who offer their time and their talents to support our many different ministries. We are also blessed with many individuals who dedicate their time before the Lord in the Most Blessed Sacrament and gather in small groups to pray the rosary.

A theme we must never overlook is treasure. The fifth precept of the Church is, “You shall help to provide for the needs of the Church.” This precept reminds us of our responsibility to provide for the needs of the Church in so far we are able. Many who are unable to contribute monetarily do contribute to the parish in many other ways. It is important that we share our treasure with the Lord, for it is from Him we receive it.
