Saint Patrick's 

We have now completed another school year.  Once again many thanks to all our volunteer Christian Formation teachers and Josie Maskell, our Christian Formation Director,  for their time and talent teaching our students each year.  We appreciate all that they do for our children.  Please note that we will be looking for a few teachers for next school year.  If you are interested, please contact the Rectory at 518-297-7361.

NEED SOME HELP AROUND THE HOUSE? ... Catholic Heart Workcamp has announced that they are putting on a week of camp in Plattsburgh, June 25-29. CHWC combines our faith's call to serve with a lot of fun for teens. And with hundreds of teens from across the country, they also get a lot of work done on the local level.  Work will be done at a variety of sites in the Rouses Point/Champlain area. CHWC is able to paint, clean, trim, rake, and even do small repair/construction jobs (e.g. porches, ramps, steps, railings).  A number of our parishioners took advantage of this wonderful opportunity to have some work done at their homes last year.  Parishioners are encouraged to call or e-mail Jocelyn Kelly at 518-651-0786, or email chwc.ogdensburg@gmail.com if you have some jobs that you would like done.  
 

The St. Patrick's Food Shelf will be open the 1st and 3rd Wednesdays of the month and the 2nd and 4th Saturdays of the month.    For the month of May, it will be open Saturday, May 26.
