WELCOME! Our Parish Mission is to build on the warmth and spirit of community established by the Irish Catholic immigrants who founded the parish in 1857 with our own commitment of faith, centered on the gospel of Jesus Christ by: providing faith-filled worship focused on the celebration of Eucharist; being a welcoming community; recognizing our need to continue our formation as Christians; providing an environment of holiness in our homes; and striving to acknowledge our blessings through our generosity.

Covid-19 has impacted 6:30 p.m. in the church with the usual this. Recently I met with two groups of pandemic precautions. parishioners who desired to hear what has been happening in the parish and where Respectfully, are moving into the future. These Fr. Kuss impromptu meetings provided reassurance to those present and answered questions that had been floating in the community. The two meetings enabled me to come to know the concerns of our community and provided welcome and needed input for me to provide the sound pastoral leadership.
CELEBRATING CHILDREN AT ST. PATRICK CATHOLIC CHURCH Relax, God put the wiggle in children; don’t feel you have to suppress it in God’s house. Sit toward the front or by the choir where it is easier for kids to see and hear what’s go- ing on at the altar. They tire of seeing the backs of heads. Quietly explain the parts of the Mass & actions of the priest, altar servers, choir etc. Participate in the responses. Children learn liturgical behavior by copying you. If you have to leave Mass with your child, feel free to do so but please come back. As Je- sus said, “Let the children come to me.” Remember that the way we welcome children in church directly aCects the way they re- spond to the Church, to God, and to one another. Let them know that they are at home in this house of worship. TO THE MEMBERS OF OUR PARISH The presence of children is a gift to the Church and they are a reminder that we are grow- ing. Please welcome our children and give a smile of encouragement to their parents.
