How can Saint Patrick's retain newcomers? A small group has been formed to brainstorm possible answers to this question. One way might be to give people opportunities to make connections with others who share similar interests. We have lots of formal groups, but there are likely many parishioners that would be happy to share various activities with others. Some examples might be small groups that enjoy mountain biking, boating on Lake Norman, informal lunch gatherings, sewing, or quilting, etc. If you are part of an "informal group" or just an individual that would like to share your interest with others, please email your interest/activity, along with contact information to Jan Krumel by clicking here. This group will collect this information and make it available to all parishioners and newcomers.

Give the gift of life! The Mooresville Habitat ReStore will be sponsoring a Red Cross blood drive on Thursday, August 14th from Noon until 4:30 p.m. Donations through the Red Cross are down approximately 8 percent over the last 11 weeks, resulting in about 80,000 fewer donations than expected. The number of donors continues to decline, and the shortfall is significant enough that the Red Cross could experience an emergency situation in the coming weeks. Make your appointment to donate by clicking here or contact Sherry Klepfer (704) 664-6515.
