A Message from Our Pastor

December 22, 2024

Dear People of St. Patrick Parish,

The fourth Advent Candle is now lite, and we see the word PEACE. As we come to Mass today, are we at Peace? Shopping all done, cookies all made, what to wear on Christmas decided, know that Santa Clause knows our address, and only three days till Jesus comes to save us.

The time for Mary to give birth to Jesus is near, yet she travels to help her cousin Elizabeth who is old and about to give birth to John the Baptist, Mary puts others needs ahead of her own. Maybe we can find peace and forgiveness for Christmas by going to Confession, forgiving someone, helping someone in need of a little help.

Elizabeth said that John the Baptist leaped in her womb for joy when Jesus in the womb of Mary entered the house. What joy we should feel as we receive Holy Communion and especially on Christmas Day.

As we visit the Nativity Crib, we hear our God the Father say, “see I love you, I sent my son to redeem you, listen to Him and please be at peace and know that Jesus and I love everyone and want everyone to one day be with us in Heaven.”

There should be great joy in our hearts as we give our Sacrificial Offering on Christmas Day to our loving God and to help that God be better known in our Catholic Church. Please give Jesus a very generous gift in your offering.

Joy is seeing every Mass filled at Christmas with smiling, loving, happy, joy filled people. Let’s be sure we put a smile on God’s face this Christmas.

God Bless,
Fr. Larry Young
Your Pastor
