Merry Christmas Church Family!
Father Bender, Father Kashif, Father D’Emma, Deacon Salzmann, and Deacon Centenera extend their warmest greetings to all the families of Saint Patrick Parish for a grace filled and Merry Christmas. We pray that this Christmas draws you into a deeper closeness to our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, who gave to each of us in His Person all the love the Father could give.
We pray each of you will continue to live joyfully and faithfully within the reach of Christ’s love.

Adorers Special notice
Attention Adoration Chapel Users - now, and for the rest of the winter, under no circumstances, is anyone to touch the heating unit in the chapel. Please understand that everybody has different preferences when it comes to heating and cooling. If you think the room is too hot, then open the door (there is to be silence so this shouldn't be an issue) for an alternate air/cooling off flow. Additionally, you may also crack a window but only with the concurrence of other attendees in the chapel at that time. This confined space is small and is housed in a building that certainly is not new or energy efficient. Also, the lighting in the hall has a sensor. You should not have to touch the lighting switches. Lights will automatically go on and off.
Special Rosary on the Feast of our lady of Guadalupe
The Ancient Order of Hibernians would like to invite you to attend a special rosary in honor of Our Lady of Guadalupe on her feast Day, Sunday, December 12th at 1:30pm at the Marsh Drive Church. The Rosary will tell the story of Our Lady through a special rosary that will provide a detail of her appearance on each bead of the rosary. Learn the story and recite a rosary all at the same time.
