Saint Patrick's 

Effective Monday, December 13, 2021, all indoor public places, including houses of worship, must require all persons over the age of 2 (except those unable to medically tolerate a face covering/mask) to wear a face covering.  Unvaccinated individuals continue to be responsible for wearing masks under CDC directives AND socially distancing while attending Mass.  We would appreciate your cooperation in implementing this protocol.

PLEASE PROTECT YOURSELF AND OTHERS ... Please stay home if you are sick. Separate yourself from others.  Please cover your mouth and nose with a mask.  Masks are required in indoor public places.  Please wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds and use hand sanitizer.  Please cover your cough or sneeze. 
 
NOTE ... Hand sanitizer is available for your use at all church entrances.  Extra masks can also be found at the entrances for those who have forgotten theirs.

HOLY WATER ... Please note that we do NOT have Holy Water in our fonts.  It is hard to keep water clean and safe with so many people having access to it.  You may still get Holy Water to take home from the silver font in the upstairs lobby.

Classes continue this Sunday, January 30, 2022. for Grades 1 to 8 and Confirmation.

SIGN-UP SHEETS ...There are sign-up sheets for Mass attendance in the upstairs church lobby and St. Mary’s lobby for First Communion First-Year Program, First Communion Second-Year Program ,  8th Grade and Confirmation Students. 

Income tax receipts for 2021 are now available.  Please note that these receipts will be in the form of a letter which will show a separate total for church contributions (parish offerings) and a total for extra contributions (special collections, parish improvement, etc.) with a grand total at the bottom. If you would like to receive a tax receipt, please indicate this on your envelope, drop a note in the collection basket or call the Rectory.  Receipts can be e-mailed, picked up or mailed directly to each parishioner who requests one.

Family of Faith in Action  ... Our parish has raised $11905 so far towards our goal of $13061.  If you have not made a 2021 Bishop’s Fund Appeal commitment, there is still time.  Envelopes are located at the back of the church or you can make your gift online by visiting https://www.rcdony.org/bfa.html#donate.
