St. Patrick parish is Grateful to Linda Clemen and the Clemen Family for the refurbishing of the statues of the Blessed Virgin and St. Joseph. They were badly in need of repair, and are an important part of our devotional practices. These were done in memory of Fritz and Craig. Thank you very much!

St. Patrick Announcements

Thank you to all that donated toward our St. Patrick Easter Flowers and to Deb Diers for decorating the candelabras.

Thank you to all that donated to the food pantries. Some of the food was taken to Manchester, and some was taken to St. Olaf (120 families served each month).

April 16: Father John's birthday!

We surprised Father with a cake and gift from the parish.

We give thanks to God for placing you in our lives at St. Patrick.
