GIVE CATHOLIC 2021 Tuesday November 30

“St. Patrick Parish and School have had a tremendous impact on our family.  We are so appreciative for the opportunities to learn and grow in faith at all levels, from our four children attending bible camps as small children, then learning and preparing for their sacraments at St. Patrick School, to myself studying than being Confirmed as an adult, to our daughters finding a special place within the vibrant youth ministry program.  In addition, we feel that St. Patrick has provided to our family incredible connection, community, and continuity.  When in our beautiful church, I always take a moment to appreciate the moments of “life" that have taken place at St. Patrick's.  Not only the “big things” like our marriage, Baptisms, First Communions and Confirmations for our children and God-children, and speaking at my best friends’ funeral mass, but also the day to day things along the way like memories of trying to keep our infants entertained in the cry room when we were new parents, later attending mass with our school children each Friday, and greeting our friends and neighbors on Sundays.  Our Parish and school have taught us the importance of getting involved and becoming an active part of our community.  We love and appreciate St Patrick for all these reasons and more, and look forward to all the learning and loving and life yet to come."
