We are in need of folks who would be interested in serving as plate counters on Sunday mornings. The commitment would be once every 6 or 7 weeks. You would need to be able to stay after church on your assigned Sunday, and together with our Financial Administrator Julie Lynch count all of the Sunday plate collections and help in preparing a bank deposit. Training will be provided and you will never count alone - always in a team of 2. If you would like to help with this ministry, please contact Pete Barger or 

Julie Lynch by clicking on their names.

Steve James will be performing at Saint Patrick's on Sunday, May 11, at 7:00 pm.  A musician and storyteller, Steve is a great instrumentalist, a prolific composer, and a dynamic stage presence. His singing conveys both the depth and the humor of his material, and his live shows have a crackling energy that is light years away from many acoustic blues revivalists.  Old-timey yet in the moment, traditional yet innovative, Steve James' guitar playing and songs will take you to places long gone as well as destinations you've never been to.  If you are planning to attend, please bring a finger food to share at the wine and cheese reception.  At the door: $15 for adults, $10 seniors/students.  All proceeds benefit community outreach.  Visit our web site for more details by clicking here
