The Night at the Races last Saturday was an absolutely wonderful event! The night was overflowing with great entertainment, food, and laughter. The event was also managed flawlessly.

I would like to thank the members of the Altar & Rosary Society for the hours of time that was invested into making The Night at the Races a success. I would also like to thank all our parishioners that attended for your generous support.

Since its inception, The Altar & Rosary Society has been a role model of a stewardship spirituality. They have given their time, talent, and treasure generously to our parish without counting the cost. May God continue to bless all our Altar & Rosary Society’s members and our amazing St. Patrick Parish.

Love,
Deacon John, Director of Stewardship

Becoming an altar server is a great way to express a stewardship spirituality. We have been blessed with the very youngest parishioners to our senior parishioners who serve at Mass every weekend as well as funerals and weddings. Thank you for your dedication. I would like to extend an invitation to anyone who feels called to be part of this ministry.

Serving at the altar provides an opportunity for servers to participate closely in the Mass, leading to a deeper understanding of our Catholic faith and a stronger relationship with God. For our young servers it helps develop life skills such as teamwork, punctuality, confidence, discipline, and attention to detail. It is a way to become actively involved in the parish community and build strong connections with our parishioners.

If you are interested in learning more about becoming an altar server, feel free to contact Deacon Bob or myself anytime at (330)534-1928. May God continue to bless and watch over our parish family.

Love,
Deacon John

Once again, our parish fall picnic was a great success!

Thank you to everyone who attended and all the people who brought great side dishes and desserts. The love we have for our parish and one another was radiating all around us. I heard so many comments that expressed the same feelings. We are truly a parish family. May we continue to love and support one another as the visible sign of Christ’s Presence amongst us.

Love,  Deacon John
