St. Patrick Announcements
Thank you to all that helped decorate St. Patrick for Christmas! Church looks beautiful!
Take Down Decorations
We will appreciate all help to take decorations down on Sunday, Jan 8th at 3:00. Why that date/time?
Our Colesburg EMT will be having a soup supper that evening in our Parish Center and ALL are invited for that fundraising event. We encourage all to attend, so come help take decorations down, and then join supper afterwards in our Parish Center!
Thank you to all that helped make our Christmas celebration special!
Thank you to all who donated Poinsettias. They can be taken home after Mass this weekend.
Recommissioning of Eucharistic Ministers of Holy Communion this weekend at St. Patrick. If you are a current Eucharistic Minister, or if you would like to be a Eucharistic Minister (requirement: Confirmed Catholic), please be present at St. Patrick tomorrow Sunday, Jan 1.
We will be offering Holy Communion under one form for the month of January, and Father John will decide on Feb and March, so at this time, we will post one month at a time for Ministry Schedules. Thank you to all that serve our Parish.
St. Patrick Town Hall Meeting
Sunday, Feb 19 following Mass
Please plan to attend
Please pick up your free book in the back of church asap. It is called "Holy Moments" by Matthew Kelly.
From the website: https://www.dynamiccatholic.com/holy-moments.html
"Holy Moments Will Make You Insanely Happy"
Holy Moments will flood your life with meaning and divine purpose. They will also make you insanely happy.
Moment by moment, they will turn the nagging dissatisfaction in your soul into enduring and overflowing joy.
In a world full of distractions where we are encouraged to fill our lives with meaningless things and trivial activities, Holy Moments have the power to unleash the greatness of the human spirit.
