Saint Patrick's 

As you all know, Fr. Duc Nguyen joined St. Patrick’s and St. Mary’s Churches in September 2019.  As he worked to familiarize himself, he became an important part of our parish, with daily and weekend Masses at our Churches, weekly Masses for our seniors and visiting the homebound.  COVID did not make his time here any easier, but we are very grateful for all that Fr. Duc has done to help make our churches run smoothly.  Now it is time for him to return to the Diocese of Kansas City, MO.   We will definitely miss him.  With this in mind, we are having a farewell reception:        

THIS Sunday, June 20 at 11:00AM
 St. Patrick’s Parish Hall

Please join us in wishing Fr. Duc all the best as he returns to the Diocese of Kansas City, MO.  All are invited!

Sr. Jessintha Xavier arrived here from India and began working at St. Patrick’s and St. Mary’s on October 1, 2017.  Since then, she has become an integral part of both our parishes. She has spent many hours visiting our homebound parishioners and bringing them Holy Communion.  She has also been an important part of our Christian Formation program teaching Grades 2, 3 and 4 as well as First Communion. We will definitely miss her presence here.  Sr. Jessy will be moving to Watertown where she will be working at the Samaritan Medical Center as the Coodinator of Catholic Ministry.  

Sr. Jessy will be leaving here at the end of the month, so please wish her well in her new endeavor.

Please note that Bishop Terry R. LaValley has reinstated the obligation to attend Sunday Mass in the Diocese of Ogdensburg.  With this is mind, parishioners who are fully vaccinated are not required to wear a face mask at Mass.  Children under 12 who are not vaccine-eligible and those under the age of 16 who have not been vaccinated, may accompany and be seated with a vaccinated adult.  Those who are not fully vaccinated should observe 6-feet social distancing and wear a face mask except when receiving Holy Communion.  Hand sanitizers will still be available at the church entrances.   Please note that Communion should be received in the hand only as this is the best way to ensure everyone’s safety at this time. Thank you for your continued understanding and cooperation.
