Dear People of St. Patrick Parish,
Today, the Church celebrates the Holy Family of Jesus, Mary and Joseph and urges us to follow their wonderful example by how we live in our own
families today.
God choses a man and a woman to fall in love and out of that love God asks them to bring new life into the world, love, and care and teach their young about God and to give good example.
How happy God the Father and Jesus His Son is when they look upon a modern family today, where the parents really love each other and commit their love in the Sacrament of Marriage and in the Church.
How happy, when they Baptized, the children that God sends them and makes sure the children receive the Sacrament of Baptism, Reconciliation, Holy Communion and Confirmation.
How happy when there is love, respect, no mean, harsh words spoken in the house.
How happy when they see the whole family come to Sunday Mass together.
A Catholic Parish is also a family, and we please God when we show our love by obeying God’s Laws and requests.
Recently our family of St. Patrick Parish came together and made the Bishop’s Appeal happened above and beyond.
We watched, ate, and enjoyed so many people cooking, serving, and taking precious time at Simbang Gabi, to provide for our people coming together for nine days.
We watched so many people being kind and loving to each other at Mass and other Parish activities.
As we look forward to the New Year of 2026, let us all pull together and raise the weekly funds needed in our weekly Sacrificial giving. This year we will need $13,200.00 per week to be able to pay all the Parish financial needs.
Some people may look at me as the great-great grandfather of St. Patrick Parish and that makes me feel so proud of all of you working so hard to make St. Patrick Parish, Rodeo-Hercules a wonderful happy family, proud of our Catholic Faith.
Let our wonderful family come together for Mass on Thursday, January 1st, 2026, to pray and ask the Lord to continue our wonderful family with love and peace.
God Bless,
Great Great Grandfather
