Saint Patrick's 

As per directives from our Bishop Terry R. LaValley, all Masses in the Diocese of Ogdensburg have been suspended until further notice (see Diocesan information regarding COVID-19 at www.rcdony.org/covid-19).  All Christian Formation classes are also cancelled until further notice.

1.    Please note that for anyone wishing to go to Confession, please call St. Patrick’s Rectory (518-297-7361) or St. Mary’s Rectory (518-298-8244) to set up an appointment.

2.    The doors to the church will be open daily from 8:00AM to 4:00PM, if anyone wishes to visit.   As we will not be having a Palm Sunday Mass, palms will be available for pick up at the church entrances and in the church on Sunday, April 5 as well as the following week.

3.    St. Patrick’s Festival has been postponed not cancelled.  We will continue to sell our various raffle tickets at the Rectory and will have the drawings when we are able to hold the festival, hopefully in the not too distant future.

4.    Our office will still be open, but please call first to make sure someone is there.  

5.    We sincerely thank our parishioners who mail or drop off their weekly envelopes.  As many of you understand, our parish expenses and obligations do not stop, so it is very helpful to be able to rely on your continued support even while you cannot personally attend Mass here.  You may also use the Poor Box in the church (located in the upstairs church lobby past the right side swinging doors) to drop off your envelopes.

Many thanks for your continued support.  May everyone stay safe and healthy!
