May the grace and peace of our Lord Jesus Christ, the love of God and fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all. 

It is truly a blessing to be here at St. Patrick Parish and School.  This year, we are celebrating the 50th Anniversary of our parish church.  At this time, the parish and school have been centered on Christ, by celebrating together around the Holy Eucharist, the source and summit of our lives.  By worshiping as a community, of one heart and one mind, we are able to go forth and be true instruments and witnesses of the Gospel of Jesus.  As we move forward, we are called to use the gifts and talents God has given us to proclaim our faith and serve our parish, school, community, Diocese and the world.  We are able to do all these things because St. Paul reminds us, "It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me." (Galatians 2:20)

With Christ living within us, His Holy Spirit strengthens and guides us.  We just need to trust in Him and grasp on onto His wings and do God's will.  Remember all of us are called to make sure every soul we meet on earth gets to Heaven.
