St. Patrick Catholic Church

May 24, 2026

Dear People of St. Patrick Parish,

Today, we remember and celebrate the coming of the Holy Spirit upon the Apostles and became the real birthday of the Church founded by Jesus Christ and passed on to all people willing to accept Jesus and His teachings.

We remember today that the Holy Spirit was given to us at our Baptism and at the conferring of the Sacrament of Confirmation. This gift from God is to help us live the life God wants for all of us and so one day we can be with God in heaven.

Monday, May 25^th , we remember all those who died in the various wars here in America and we pray for their souls to be with God in Heaven. We also honor and thank all those men and women who have and are still serving in our country.

This Friday, St. Patrick Catholic School will graduate 37 students. We pray for them as they go off to begin their high school years. We are proud of them, and we thank their parents for giving them this special gift of education.

Next Saturday, May 30^th , we will celebrate Flores de Mayo to Honor the Blessed Mother, this is a procession outside of the Church, followed by the crowning of Mary’s Statue in the Church and Mass. Afterwards, we will celebrate with food and fun in the Hall. Bring the children to experience this devotion to Mary.

Next Sunday, May 31^st , the Parish will celebrate more than 25 years of joyful music from our St. Patrick Music Ministry headed by Henry Torres and there will be a concert in the Church at 4:30pm. A suggested donation of $20.00 per ticket or “Free Will” donations will be greatly appreciated. Come and enjoy.

As we close out the month of May honoring the Mother of God, we pray and ask her to help our Parish to grow in love for her Son, Jesus and that our youth especially will love and serve God by living the way God wants us all to live.

God Bless,
Fr. Larry Young
Your Pastor
