Dear People of St. Patrick Parish,
This week of January 18-25 is a Week of Prayer for the Unity of Christians. Knowing that a Christian is one who believe in and follow Jesus Christ. Not all Christian Churches follow all the teachings of Jesus but pick and choose. We as Catholics follow all the teachings of Jesus as He founded the Catholic Church which is universal.
Our prayer this week is that all Christian Churches will pray and give good example to all people and all work together to help bring the message of Jesus to the whole world. Our world really needs the Christian message, to love God and our neighbors.
We also pray this Monday that as we honor Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. for his work, to help bring about an end to all racial discrimination, we continue to pray that there will be no racial discrimination anywhere in the world and that no one will be looked down upon because of their ethnic roots.
Next Sunday is the start of Catholic school week and we are very proud of our Parish
Catholic School and hope that many of you will make an attempt to send your children to a Catholic School. Please note that when you praise the Catholic Schools you invite parents to send their children and please encourage your families and friends to come to the open house next Sunday at 10:00am.
Also consider to be willing to maybe help support a family with some tuition assistance.
God Bless,
Fr. Larry Young
Pastor
