Confirmation Orientation ...  Sunday, November 10, 7:00PM in the Rectory Meeting Room.  Parents and Students are asked to attend.

If you have a child who will be beginning First Grade this coming school year, please fill out a registration card which can be found on the table in the upstairs front lobby of the church and drop it in the collection basket or at the Rectory.  The same also applies to any new families in our Parish who will have children in any of our Grades 1 through 9.

First Communion is a two-year program and students must complete first and second grades in order to make their First Communion. Confirmation is also a two-year program and students must complete eighth and ninth grades in order to make their Confirmation.  Sunday and Holyday Mass attendance is also a requirement.

Continues this Wednesday, November 13, from 6:30 to 8:00PM in the St. Patrick’s Parish Center.  This video series, that began in March, examines the sacraments of the Catholic Faith as well as the Examination of Conscience.  St. Patrick’s and St. Mary’s parishioners are welcome to attend.  For those what already attended the first sessions, please bring your materials that you already received.

St. Patrick's Food Shelf is open every Wednesday from 9:30 to 10:30AM.  It will not be open on Saturdays.  Contact Eleanor Reynolds at 518-298-3111 for further assistance.

75 families in our parish have made a gift or pledge to the 2019 Bishop’s Fund Appeal. Our parish goal is to have 141 or more families participate. We are grateful to those that have made a sacrificial gift to this year’s Bishop’s Fund Appeal. Our parish has raised $8190 toward our parish goal of $13061. The Bishop’s Fund Appeal supports ministries, activities and programs that serve people throughout the Diocese in ways that we as an individual parish could never do alone. If you have not yet made your gift, please prayerfully consider supporting the 2019 Bishop’s Fund Appeal, which is separate from the Capital Campaign, with a pledge or one-time gift. A pledge allows us to support the Appeal in four convenient payments throughout the year. 

There is still time to turn in your pledge or one-time gift if you have not already done so.  Envelopes can be found at the church entrances. To date, St. Patrick’s has raised $125,438 from 86 donors. 

As a reminder, the Development Office sends out pledge reminder statements with return envelopes and processes recurring credit card pledge payments on the 15th of each month or the next business day if necessary.
