A Message from Fr. Mario Orrigo about the ROE Act
(also available under News/Pastor's Notes/The ROE Act)
~~~~~~~~~~

Dear Church,

We’ve recently learned that, in addition to emails, scamming attempts have unfortunately progressed to sending texts to people’s cell phones seeking donations of iTunes cards, gift cards, etc. Please know that Father Frank, Bishop Peter, nor myself nor anyone on the Parish staff would ever ask for such a donation, nor would they ever contact you in this manner. When an appeal is made we post the appeal in the bulletin (as we normally do for holiday helpers) we send a letter, or make a personal call for any help for the parish or the diocese.

~ Fr. Mario

Once again, we want to remind you that you can support Saint Patrick Parish with a Bequest.

Thank you for your consideration!

land of the free and home of the brave,
whose lady holds high the torch of welcome to human life.”
