- YOUR PRAYERS PLEASE
For the Sick, Our Special Intentions and Beloved Departed
- If it were but known how great is the power of the good souls in Purgatory with the Heart of God,
and if we knew all the graces we can obtain through their intercession,
they would not be so much forgotten.
We must, therefore, pray much for them, that they may pray much for us.
-- St. John Vianney

- STEWARDSHIP
- There is so much giving that is wasted because it is not done for the soul. The world thinks that the highest things must be used for the lowest, for example, the intellect to make surplus wealth. The man of God believes that the lowest must be used for the highest, that is, money must be spent to help spread Divine Truth, to solace the afflicted and to cure the sick that their souls may be free to work out their salvation.
The truest answer to "You can't take it with you" is: "You can, provided you give it away." Then it is stored up as merit in the next life.

- CLARION HERALD
- Many persons may not be aware that EVERY registered Catholic of our Archdiocese MUST receive the Clarion Herald by order of the Archbishop. If you are not currently receiving it please contact the parish. The policy of the Archdiocese requires the parish to pay for each and every individual subscription if the individual is unwilling or unable to pay for it themselves. We encourage our parishioners to consider paying for their own Clarion Herald subscriptions so as to alleviate a huge financial burden to our parish. We would also like to thank those who graciously have agreed to pay for their own subscriptions.
- REMEMBERING THE POOR
- Here at St. Patrick's, there is a long tradition of service to the poor and underprivileged, symbolized by our special relationship of support for the Ozanam Inn.
As you pass the poor box on your way out of the Church after Mass, please remember God's beloved poor and their need for your prayerful support.
