Registration for our Youth Ministry (SPYM) and Faith Formation programs opens Monday, July 1, 2024. Rising Freshmen and Sophomores must register for BOTH Youth Ministry AND the Confirmation Program. Rising Juniors and Seniors that plan to participate in our Youth Ministry program including those serving as retreat leaders should register for the Youth Ministry program only. All rising 1st grade students through 8th grade students should register for Faith Formation. Children in 2nd grade preparing to celebrate the Sacraments of First Reconciliation and First Eucharist must also register for the Sacramental Program in addition to grade 2 Faith Formation. Preparation for celebrating the sacraments is a two-year process, so children in grade 1 expecting to celebrate First Reconciliation and First Communion in second grade MUST attend 1st grade Faith Formation classes.

July 7 & 8, is our monthly Forget-Me-Not food collection weekend! Please drop your non-perishable food donations in the priests’ garage. Historically, summer months are crucial for food donations since children are home from school and do not have access to food programs at school. While demand increases in the summer for this reason, supply often decreases since many of our donors take their vacations, have other obligations and may not be able to donate during the summer months. Please help if you can! Bins are available on top of the freezers for you to place your items in and the Food Pantry committee will re-bag those donations for Father English Center in Paterson. Thank you for your continued support in helping our brothers and sisters in need.

A Marian Devotion Mass will be celebrated in the Church on Saturday, July 6, 2024 at 8:00 am in the Church With Fr. Chris. All are invited to attend this very special monthly Mass.

Join us on Friday, July 5 in the Church for First Friday Mass followed by Adoration. Mass begins at 12:30 pm immediately followed by Adoration until 2 pm. All are invited to stop in and spend some private time in prayer with the Lord.

Our Summer Mass schedule goes into effect THIS WEEKEND, June 22 and 23. Weekend Masses will be celebrated at 5 pm on Saturdays and 7:30 am and 10 am on Sundays for the last two weekends of June and all of July and August. We will return to our regular Mass schedule after Labor Day Weekend! Please contact the parish office with any questions.

Congratulations to our 8th grade students that will be graduating from St. Patrick School today! We are so proud of all you have accomplished and wish you the best in your future endeavors!

Help us help those in need! On Saturday, June 15 from 8:30 am until 2:00 pm, teens and adults traveling to Preston County, West Virginia to renovate dilapidated homes for those living with the unfortunate situation of rural poverty, will hold their annual Car Wash to help defray the cost of traveling, food and necessities. The Appalachia Help Weeks are part of the Justice and Service component to Youth Ministry. Please stop by the Parish parking lot and have your car washed! Tickets are available for purchase at the door or on our website.

Thank you to all who donated and supported our annual Feast of Corpus Christi Food Collection! Your generous donations will help fill our diocesan food pantries that are historically low during the summer months and most needed at this time of year when children are home from school for summer break!
