Dear People of St. Patrick Parish,

During this time after Easter, we the children of God, here at St. Patrick Parish have received many blessings from our God and we have the promise of more to come. You might say, “Father where are these blessings?

· Recent Baptismal of both children and adults.

· Our 69 children who received their First Holy Communion.

· Two adults being Confirmed by the Bishop at the Cathedral.

· Several weddings coming up here in the Church.

· Honor to the Blessed Mother at the Flores de Mayo. Asking Mary to help all of us as we journey through life.

· Many Confessions, forgiving us from our sins.

· Several adults preparing to be Baptized or received into the Church in the days to come.

· Anticipated joy and pride in all the things that St. Patrick does in the local
community.

· Preparing for Graduation of our St. Patrick Catholic School on May 30th and then going off to their High Schools.

· God’s love and grace in bringing back some of the Catholics who have not been practicing their Catholic Faith.

Thank you, God, for loving us and help all of us to heed the New Commandment you gave to love one another. As God loves us, we are to love another in our midst.

Yes, we are followers of Jesus Christ, if we truly show love for one another even when it might be difficult.

Let us take to heart this great Commandment and really make it happen.

God Bless Ya,
Fr. Larry Young
Your Pastor
