Colection for local Veterans
Project Fresh Start for Vets!
The Saint Vincent de Paul Ministry, will be collecting hygiene products for our local Veterans, the weekend of February 10/11th. Look for our volunteers, outside the church doors, before all Masses. We are partnering with the Veteran Stability Organization, once again, to provide needed items, such as soap, shampoo, toothpaste, toothbrushes, feminine hygiene products, shaving cream, tissue packets, body lotion and deodorant. Every item counts in making a significant difference! Our goal is to not only provide individual hygiene kits but also to replenish the supplies at local veterans transitional homes. Full size and Travel size items are needed. Together, let's offer a "fresh start" to those who have bravely served our nation. Thanks for your support!
Happy 245th Anniversary
Saint Patrick Parish was founded on February 5, 1779 when Father Charles Sewell, S.J. a member of the Jesuit Missionaries of Sacred Heart Church, Conewago, Heidelberg Township in Adams County purchased land on Pomfret Street. This plot is now home to three structures: The Shrine Church, Saint Katherine Drexel Hall - Rectory, and the Parish Office Building that make up the Pomfret Street Complex. Mass was celebrated infrequently in the first log church built in 1784 for the few Catholics scattered throughout Cumberland Valley. Saint Patrick Church, Carlisle is the first church in America named in honor Ireland’s Patron Saint.
