St. Patrick Applauds! St. Patrick Parish is certainly BLESSED BIG TIME with the number of people who are willing to share their faith with all of us. Whether it be through our Annual Retreat, through our many fun and social activities, through the way we foster growth in our young people, and the many, many, many other things we do (Missions, 40 Hours, etc.), God has bestowed many blessings on us! Three very special people stepped up the other weekend to tell of their faith during Commitment Sunday to show us how they “Invested in their Faith” at St. Patrick Church. Shelly Lurwick, Melody Montag, and Karen Powers really brought the light of Christ to everyone with their amazing witnesses of faith! We thank them for sharing, and making us all think! We also thank Shelly, Melody, Karen, along with Bill Montag (our runner!), who treated everyone to coffee and doughnuts after all of the Masses the weekend of October 5-6. Thank you to everyone who stopped for a coffee, and shared their story of faith! It really bears repeating, “St. Patrick Parish is certainly BLESSED BIG TIME!”

St. Patrick Applauds! If you ever watch WNEP-TV News, many times you will get a glimpse of St. Patrick Church on the weather! Our beautiful spire looks pretty good on TV, whether the weather is sunny, cloudy, rainy, or snowy!
