Saint Patrick's 

Drawing will be held on Sunday, December 19 after the 10:00AM Mass.  Tickets are $2 each or a book of three tickets for $5.  This 10-prize raffle ticket includes $3900 in prizes, with the top prize of a 65-inch Sony Smart LED TV, Kobalt Home Tool Set, Full-Size Quilt, $150 Target Gift Card, $100 Gas Card, Avon Basket and $650 in cash prizes.  Please offer them to your family, friends, co-workers and others.  We would hope that every family can dispose of their books.  If you cannot, then perhaps you can purchase the books yourselves.  The outlay would only be $20.  Additional books of tickets will be available in the church lobby at both St. Patrick’s and St. Mary’s.  Tickets can be returned in the collection basket, by mail or dropped off at the Rectory.  As always, many thanks for your support of St. Patrick’s.

20-Week Club Tickets are now available for our next drawing beginning on January 3,  2022. We are asking all our families to consider purchasing a ticket or selling tickets to their family and friends.  The cost is only $20 per ticket.  There are eighteen $50 prizes, one $100 prize and two $500 prizes.  There are only 200 tickets to be sold and you may win more than once.  Tickets are available at both St. Patrick’s Masses, St. Mary’s Masses as well as at the Rectory.  Please show your support for St. Patrick’s by helping to sell all 200 tickets!
