Please consider supporting the Diocesan Harvest for Hospitality Campaign. Each family of the parish is being asked to prayerfully consider contributing $50.00 to the campaign. Consider this amount a guideline. Contributions of more or less are most welcome and will greatly assist the diocese in ministering to the underserved population of migrant farmworkers in our state. Checks may be made payable to Saint Patrick's and placed in the Sunday morning offering plate or mailed to the church office. Be sure to include "Harvest for Hospitality" in the memo line. For more information about the campaign please click here to see the letter that was sent to every parish family. Also, please consider exploring the diocesan website by clicking here for detailed information.

We are in need of volunteers who can help move furniture out and back into our classrooms on two more occasions over the holidays. This will enable our classroom floors to be stripped and waxed.

For future dates, please look for the volunteer form located in the Narthex. Many hands make light work! Thank you!
