Important Message from our Financial Leaders
If you have yet to make your 2013 pledge to the church, please consider doing so before Monday morning. Saint Patrick's is a fully self supported community. We rely almost entirely on pledges and contributions to fund our common life. Your vestry will be meeting on Monday evening to make significant spending decisions. Any and all pledges, from the smallest to the largest, are most welcomed and cherished. If you have misplaced your pledge card, please contact our Financial Administrator, Julie Lynch, in the church office. Alternatively, you may confidentially submit your pledge electronically by direct e-mail to Julie by clicking here. Thank you!

In September 2012 the vestry of Saint Patrick's commissioned an ad hoc committee to assess the staffing structure and programming of our Youth and Children's Ministries. The committee has been hard at work performing their due diligence over the last several months. Please select this link to view the committee's official report which was presented to the vestry on January 28th. The vestry will be considering the committee's recommendation in tandem with 2013 (and beyond) budgetary deliberations. In addition to the written report supplied here, please know that Mason Reuter, the committee's chairperson, will present a five minute brief to the congregation during the 10:30am service on February 24th. There will be a Q&A session with Mason and other committee members following the service.

While the construction project continues on our property, please remember that when you come to the Church for evening meetings/activities, we encourage you to park in the paved parking lot on the left side of the building. While construction is happening, the gravel parking lot has no lighting and can be a bit dangerous. We are allowed to park in the paved lot after 5 pm on weekdays and on weekends. Greenery is needed for the altar for all Sundays in Lent.
