Dear People of St. Patrick Parish,

Today, we sing Psalm 27, “The Lord is my light and my salvation.” As we listen and sing it, we should pray and reflect upon. Do we really believe it and take to heart that one day we can see and be with God in heaven?

This week is also National Catholic Schools Week, we are so happy to be education over 340 children, helping them to come to know, love and obey their loving God. Yes, we have Catholic children and also children from other religious faiths.

Children in Catholic schools grow up learning about God and having the opportunity to learn how to be loving, caring adults later in life.

Our students get quality education along with the tools of how to be good and loving people.

We pray for all our Catholic Schools, Families and Teachers and all those who help to support our Catholic Schools.

We are building our new performing arts and learning center, soon to be completed and ready to enrich our entire Catholic School Program.

Thank you, parents for making the many sacrifices to send your children. Those of us who attended Catholic School are grateful for all that we learned and put into practice.

The more students for the better praying and encourage your families.

God Bless,
Fr. Larry Young
Your Pastor
