We have not only made our AAA goal but have also surpassed our stretch goal of $100,000.00! My sincere thanks to all of you who participated in this worthwhile endeavor to help support the good works of the Archdiocese of San Francisco. In addition to supporting the mission of the Archdiocese, we as a parish benefited financially from the donations received above the goal set by the Archdiocese. 100% of excess funds (funds received in excess of the AAA goal) are being returned to the parish. This year, I plan to use those funds to improve the sound system in our church. Over the past several years, parishioners have spoken to me about the inadequacy of the current sound system. I hope to improve the system which will be of benefit to us all as we gather together for worship.
 
For those who have yet to participate in this year’s campaign, not to worry. It is not too late. Please take a brochure from the vestibule of the church, fill it out, and place it in the collection basket some Sunday, or contribute electronically via the parish website. Know that your donation will also be greatly appreciated and put to good use here in our wonderful parish.
 
Please know that I am extremely grateful to all of you for the many ways in which you support our parish community. You truly reflect your faith not only in word but also in action.
 
God bless you all!
Monsignor Michael Padazinski

The Journey of Faith: Inquiry
 
Do you have questions about faith, religion, and the Catholic Church? Would you like to deepen and enrich your experience of Holy Mass and the Sacraments? Are you curious about the many forms of prayer which are part of our Catholic tradition? Perhaps you are considering Baptism in the Catholic Church, or were baptized in a Christian church of a different denomination. Or perhaps you are a baptized Catholic who has not yet received the Sacraments. If these questions ring a bell or strike a chord in you or someone you know, St. Patrick Parish is offering a special Inquiry event just for you.
 
Please join us for an evening of wine, cheese, and spiritual nourishment on Saturday, September 21st in Healy Hall, following the 5PM Mass. We will discuss Adult Faith Sharing groups, the RCIA Program 2019-2020 ( Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults), get to know one another, and pray together.
 
Becoming Catholic: The Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults
 
Adults considering entering the Catholic Church follow a process known as RCIA (The Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults.)  RCIA offers an opportunity to come together to learn more about the faith. There are four stages: Inquiry, Catechumenate, Purification/Enlightenment, and Mystagogy. Each participant is on their own unique faith journey. Together, in community,  we pray, share, and learn  about the Church as each progresses  through the stages of RCIA.
 
RCIA will meet on Monday evenings at St. Patrick Church beginning on September 23rd from
6:30-8 PM.

"You shall attend Mass on Sundays and holy days of obligation and rest from servile labor."
