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

When you support the 2019 Catholic Appeal, you support us.

There you will find a video about the appeal, and links to donate online.

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

Thank you for your consideration!

“Every Life: Cherished, Chosen, Sent.”

Unless souls are saved, nothing is saved; there can be no world peace unless there is soul peace. World wars are only projections of the conflicts waged inside the souls of men and women, for nothing happens in the external world that has not first happened within a soul.

“Moral principles do not depend on a majority vote.
Wrong is wrong, even if everybody is wrong.
Right is right, even if nobody is right”

~ Fulton J. Sheen
