This weekend, the Church celebrates the Solemnity of All Saints. The Church sets aside the first day of November to honor all those who have been welcomed into the heavenly kingdom. All Souls Day, November 2nd, is a day to remember those who have died but have not yet entered into the heavenly kingdom. These are the poor souls in purgatory.

Join us, in person, for an hour of Eucharistic Adoration, on Thursday, November 5th, at 7:00 PM in the Church.

Dear Parish Family, this weekend, our parish will be celebrating the Sacrament of the Anointing of the Sick at all the Masses.

The Gospel for the 29th Sunday in Ordinary Time (Matthew 22:15-21) describe how the Pharisees attempt to “entrap Jesus in speech.” They sent their disciples to him, with the Herodians, saying, "Teacher, we know that you are a truthful man and that you teach the way of God in accordance with the truth. And you are not concerned with anyone's opinion, for you do not regard a person's status. Tell us, then, what is your opinion: Is it lawful to pay the census tax to Caesar or not?" Knowing their malice, Jesus said, "Why are you testing me, you hypocrites? Show me the coin that pays the census tax." Then they handed him the Roman coin. He said to them, "Whose image is this and whose inscription?" They replied, "Caesar's." At that he said to them, "Then repay to Caesar what belongs to Caesar and to God what belongs to God."

The Sacrament of the Anointing of the Sick will take place here at St. Patrick Parish at the 4:00 p.m. Mass on Saturday, October 24th, and the 9:30 a.m. Mass on Sunday, October 25th. Q-tips will be used to administer the Oil of the Sick. This Sacrament is for those struggling with serious illness.

Dear Parish Family, I read this statement here at St. Patrick Parish at the 9:30 a.m. Mass last Sunday, October 4, 2020.
