Week of December 24, 2017

The Sanctuary Candle burns in memory of

Andrew Becker

The Blessed Mother Candle burns in memory of

Deceased Members of Becker Family Maryanne Marchione

The St. Joseph Candle burns memory of

Charles J. Becker III Robert Devlin

The angel said to them,

“Do not be afraid;

for behold, I proclaim to you

good news of great joy

that will be for all the people.

For today in the city of David

a savior has been born for you who is

Christ and Lord.

May the love and joy of

Christmas Day

fill your hearts and your homes

with the peace of Christ, the Lord.

We pray that you and your family may know

the many blessings of the

gifts shared with us

on that first Christmas Day!

Merry Christmas and God Bless You,

Father Redcay, Father Arul,

Deacon Lou & Deacon Brandon

PRAYER OF BLESSING FOR MANGER

God of every nation and people, from the very beginning of creation you have made manifest your love:

when our need for a Savior was great you sent your Son to be born of the Virgin Mary. To our lives he brings joy and peace, justice, mercy, and love. Lord, bless all who look upon this manger; may it remind us of the humble birth of Jesus, and raise our thoughts to him, who is God-with-us and Savior of all, and who lives and reigns forever and ever. Amen.

ST. PATRICK OUTREACH

Thank you for your generous response to our “giving tree” and “adopt-a-child” programs. Many have been the recipients

of your great kindness. May God Bless you and your families.

Merry Christmas!!

Feast of the Epiphany

Just as the three Kings brought gifts to the Infant Child, Jesus, the St. Patrick’s Pro-Life Committee invites you to bring gifts for young children and the unborn.

Each family is asked to bring Infant and Toddler hats and mittens to Mass on the weekend of January 6th-7th to be presented at the Offertory Procession. These collected items will then be distributed to the Sisters of Life and the Missionaries of Charity.

God, in Baptism you called me by

name and made me a member of

your people, the Church. Help all your people to know their

vocation in life, and to respond by living a life of holiness.

For your greater glory and for the service of your people, raise up dedicated and generous leaders

who will serve as sisters, priests, brothers, deacons,

and lay ministers.

Send your Spirit to guide and strengthen me that I may serve your people

following the example of your Son, Jesus Christ, in whose name I offer this prayer. Amen.

2nd Collection on Christmas Day!

As has become our tradition at St. Patrick Parish,

the second collection Christmas Day

the Children of Amigos de Jesus in Honduras.

Your gift of love is greatly appreciated!
