We will be 'live streaming' from St Patrick Church this Sunday the 10:00 am Mass on Face Book and then again at 12:30 pm in Spanish. We ask for your patience as we attempt to get Mass to more of you in the community. Let us know of your suggestions!
While we have recently returned to Mass with restrictions, the question has been posed, "What about music?" Per the Bishop's direction, we are not allowed to sing as yet however we can have instrumental accompaniment. Soon, we will have music at 4:00 pm Mass and 8:00 am Mass when our organist returns. Anyone wishing to accompany the 10:00 am Mass (or any other Mass) just needs to contact the office so that arrangements can be made. While there is no music during Mass, the entrance antiphon will be read during the processional and the Communion antiphon will be read during the Communion procession. We are doing what we can to make the liturgy one of joyful thanks to our Lord and King!
As we begin our return to Mass, these are some thoughts upon which we can reflect. May God bless and protect us all! Click on the title to see Fr Pepin's homily!
Daily Mass begins on Monday June 8 at 8:30 am. Weekend Masses begin on JUNE 13/14 with all of the previous Mass times. We wish to remind those who are ill, over 65 years of age and/or have medical conditions, that staying home and participating with a Mass on TV remains an appropriate option. The Bishop has issued a dispensation for those unable to attend Mass. Please click on the title to get more information!

A reminder that at St. Patrick, Fr. Hernando hears Confession on Saturday beginning at 3:00 pm until all people had been heard or 4:00 pm, whichever comes first. At St. James, Fr. Pepin makes himself available for Confession Sunday morning beginning at 10:00 am until 12:00 pm then again on Wednesday at 3:00 pm until 5:00 pm. While we remain under the request to not gather, our priests make themselves available at these times for our consolation.
