New Catholics received in full Communion with the Church, and Confirmed and Received First Communion: Sarah Bondy, Clair Brown, Carson Genei, Owen Mason, Ronan McArthur, Robert Shady
This weekend, as we still celebrate the Octave of Easter, we will also welcome 9 children into the church during the 5pm Saturday Mass. Please join me in praying for all of these new Catholics!
Special Divine Mercy Sunday Service: This Sunday April 12 at 3pm
Just a reminder that this Sunday, April 12th at 3pm, we will be having a special Divine Mercy Prayer Service in the Church where we will hear about the life of St. Faustina, sing the Divine Mercy Chaplet to finish our novena. Please join us.
St Pat’s Shamrock Festival (June 12-14 2026)
As I mentioned a few weeks ago in the bulletin and at weekend Masses, we are introducing the St. Patrick Shamrock Festival, taking place on the St. Patrick School and SELCRA grounds on June 12–14, 2026, with a soft opening on June 11 for our parish and school families and volunteers.
Please go to this website to sign up to volunteer for the festival*, which promises to be an incredible event for the parish and the entire community!
Your servant in the Lord,
Fr. Mathias
