We, the Roman Catholic Community of St. Patrick Church under the guidance and protection of Mary, our Blessed Mother, and St. Patrick our Patron, recognize ourselves as disciples of Jesus Christ. We strive to be a prayerful Eucharistic Family, open to the power of the Holy Spirit and conscious of our mission to use our time, talent and treasure in service to our brothers and sisters and to the glory of God.
St. Pat's Updates
Please be careful. We received the following message from the Chancery About Scams:
Please continue to be very vigilant about scams directed toward parishes – through e-mail, phone calls, regular mail, or otherwise. Bad actors will claim to be bishops, priests, employees, parishioners, etc. Always double check anything out of the ordinary or unusual. No official person or entity in the Church will ever request you to purchase gift cards, crypto currency (Bitcoin), or similar items. Never provide sensitive personal or financial information unless without carefully verifying the identity of the requestor. Please communicate this to your staff and key volunteers. Do not hesitate to contact the Chancery staff for consultation.
