Hello everyone!  If you haven’t already heard, next Saturday, January 23rd, will be my final live-stream of the Holy Mass here at St. Patrick Parish. My schedule has become so full that it did not include time for myself. Working a full-time job, maintaining 5 websites (I’ve been a freelance website developer since 2000), and my jobs at SVdP has not allowed me to have what I’ve been looking for...

I want to extend to each of you an invitation. I would like to invite you to take the time to consider an invitation to join our Parish Pastoral Council. The Parish Pastoral Council is a group of parishioners who assist me in the tasks of discerning the vision & goals for our parish, helping to continue to move our parish forward. These parishioners are not meant to be the people who do everything, but are rather meant to serve as a representative voice of our larger parish family, working with me & helping me as I seek to do my best in leading 2 parish families.

Good day everyone! I am proud to announce that there will be a live-stream of the Sunday Mass this weekend on Saturday, January 9th at 4:30 PM. As in the past, the stream will begin roughly 5 minutes before Mass begins. I thank you for your patience and understanding. Take care and may God bless you and your loved ones!

Due to technical difficulties, and some broken cables, there will be no live-stream of the Vigil Mass on Saturday, January 2, 2021. We are hopeful to return the livestream on Saturday, January 9th. We apologize for any inconvenience.

It is hard to believe that, in roughly 2 weeks, we will begin the Joyous Christmas Season, when we celebrate the Word becoming Flesh.  Below is the live-stream schedule for this great season

This year our Giving Tree donations will be going to the men at the Jack Mulhall Center for Sober Living, who give so very much for our parish. YOU can help bring the Light of Our Savior this Blessed Christmas Season to the men in residence, here at St. Pat’s. This year because of health safety (COVID-19), we need to do our Giving Tree a little bit differently: There will be no ornaments to take from the tree as in previous years, but a liturgically decorated Giving Tree to place your gift/donation under by Sunday, December 13, 2020. For complete info, please click here.

Around this time of year, and maybe even earlier, we start to hear & see countdowns of how many days remain until the holidays.  There are “x” number of days left until Thanksgiving or there are “x” number of days left until Christmas.  In “normal” years, there are many preparations that go into getting ready for the holidays & this year is no different, though we know & we’ve heard that this year’s holiday celebrations will take on a different look with the continuing pandemic that we are in.

After further review and testing, and as an effort to increase viewership on each parish's YouTube Channel, we will be transitioning the livestream of the Mass over to YouTube beginning on the weekend of Nov. 28-29, 2020, the First Sunday of Advent. Links will be placed on each parish's website and Facebook site beginning the weekend prior, and each weekend thereafter. Parishioners will also be encouraged to "Subscribe" to the Parish's YouTube Channel, which will send them notifications of when the Parish Mass is LIVE on YouTube.

St. Patrick's Hunger Center has helped feed those less fortunate in our neighborhood for 35+ years!  We want to continue making their holiday special, but COVID-19 has changed how we can do it and WE REALLY NEED YOUR HELP!  In past years, we has asked for donations of non-perishable foods and YOU RESPONDED! We provided complete dinners for approximately 300 families! This year, the need is even greater with more people out of work.

Join us on Monday, October 12th, as we join together, virtually, and pray the Rosary for Life. October is the Month of the Holy Rosary and Respect Life Month. This event will be LIVE-STREAMED ONLY on our Parish's Facebook Page. Live-stream will begin at 6:55 PM.

The St. Patrick Holy Name Society and the St. Patrick Athletic Association regretfully announce that due to the ongoing COVID
19 pandemic both the Holy Name Clam Bake (usually held in early November) and the CYO High School Basketball Tournament...

Effective Tuesday, September 8th, the celebration of Mass has resumed at its normal times. We thank you for your patience and understanding during these times.

Effective immediately, all Masses and activities are cancelled thru and including September 7th.
