St. Patrick’S bleSSing fund

This time of year we ask the community of St. Patrick’s Catholic Church to consider replenishing the BLESSING FUND. The money in this fund is used to assist with rent shortages, utility payments, health needs including dental, pharmacy, transportation and other medical procedures.

Over the past twelve months we have provided $16,920.43 to meet those needs. As you might expect our reserves in this fund are getting low because of the growing need in our commu-nity. Please pick up a Thanks-giving envelope next weekend

and prayerfully consider a financial gift to the Blessing Fund to help those in need. Our Thanksgiving Day collection will be for the Blessing Fund. Thank you for your continued Stewardship to St. Patrick’s Parish.

Knights of Columbus, St. Patrick’s Council #9917 would like to thank those who at-tended their Annual Thanks-giving Dinner. A special thanks to the Holy Cross Board members and employ-

ees who helped serve the dinner. Due to your generous support the Knights were able to donate $3,000.00 to Holy Cross Food Center.

“Music Notes” From

Lynn Kahler, Director of Music

“In Christ Alone” is a popular modern Christian song written by Keith Getty and Stuart Townsend, both songwriters of Christian hymns and contem-porary worship music in the United Kingdom. The song, with a strong Irish melody, is the first hymn they penned together. Com-posed in 2001, the music was by Getty and the lyrics by Town-send. The theme of the song is the life, death and resurrection of Christ, and that he is God whom even death cannot hold.
