Dear People of St. Patrick Parish,
On this Easter Sunday, we sing ALLELUIA [Praise to God] with great joy and ongoing hope. We gather to praise our loving God for allowing Jesus to be killed on the Cross, be buried and to rise from the dead to save everyone who wishes to be saved. My prayer today is that each of us worshiping our God here today, have that intention.
We will renew our Baptismal Promise at this Mass, as if we were Baptized as a baby, our parents and godparents made the promise for us, but now we must live that promise and await the time we can enter into heaven, to be with Jesus and all the people we love and have loved.
If, we were Baptized but did not make our First Confession and First Communion along with the Sacrament of Confirmation, we need today, to promise God that we will do so now. St. Patrick Parish is here to make it happen.
As we live out our Baptismal Promise, we pray and encourage others to join us in Faith and to become active members of our Parish. That means, let us get involved.
Be happy to attend the Parish Town Hall Meeting on Wednesday, April 29 at 7:00pm and learn why and how to share our Faith with others, you are needed in so many ways and not just by our sacrificial giving in the offering collections.
We, the Parish congregation of St. Patrick Parish Rodeo-Hercules need to work together so we can all be together in heaven one day.
Happy and Blessed Easter,
Fr. Larry Young
Your Pastor
