A Message from Our Pastor

November 15, 2026

Dear People of St. Patrick Parish,

Today is the Last Sunday of the Church’s Ordinary year for 2026. Next Sunday, we will honor Christ the King and then the First Sunday of the new Church year, which is the first Sunday of Advent. Oh, yes, that signals the coming of Simbang Gabi and nine days of Mass at 5:00am.

As we reflect in preparations, we might reflect and pray. We should be trying to live in accord with God’s will, to honor the commitments which our calling in life entails, and to be faithful and devout in our religion. How are we using the gifts and the talents that God has given to each one of us.

Let us think today and in the next two weeks about what God has chosen to give to us along with His love and grace.

They include our life, our family, our faith, our talents, even our desire to love and serve God. Yes, God wants us to share these gifts and talents with others.

In the Gospel, the man who buried his talent was unwilling to help others grow and he lost all the benefits God had offered him.

His actions did not get him to heaven but to join the ungrateful Devil in hell.

If I am not one of the 113 parishioners who gave to the Bishop’s Appeal I can give so our Parish can raise $3,840.00, to help the needs of the Catholic Church and change our 91% goal to 100%.

Dear married ladies, we hope and pray that you are a worthy wife and that your husband has entrusted his heart to you. Yes, the woman who fears the Lord is to be praised.

If you are not, there is still time to change and make it happen.

God Bless ,
Fr. Larry Young
Your Pastor
