PATRICK SCHOOL COMMUNITY LIFE 2 PASTOR’S LETTER: 22nd Sunday in Ordinary Time Venerable Dorothy Day Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ Since I was serving chaplain for the priest retreat at the Palisades last week, this week’s Pastor Letter will be brief! I simply want to share with you the quote from Dorothy Day, founder of the Catholic Worker Movement, that I mentioned at the end of my homily at Saint Rita and Saint Pat’s last weekend. She speaks of how God raises up saints at just the right times in history. I found a quote from Pope Benedict along those same lines for your reflection. Friends, we are all called to be saints; to be the holy men and women God raises up to be instruments of his healing grace to our families, our community, our Church and the world. These are powerful words to ponder along the way: “As a convert, I never expected much of bishops. In all history, popes and bishops and father abbots seem to have been blind and power-loving and greedy. I never expected leadership from them. It is the saints that keep appearing all through history who keep things going. What I do expect is the bread of life and down through the ages there is that continuity.” - Venerable Dorothy Day “The future of the Church can and will issue from those whose roots are deep and who live from the pure fullness of their faith. It will not issue from those who accommodate themselves merely to the passing moment or from those who merely criticize others and assume that they themselves are infallible measuring rods; nor will it issue from those who take the easier road, who sidestep the passion of faith. The future of the Church, once again as always, will be shaped by saints, by those, that is, whose minds probe deeper than the slogans of the day, who see more than others see, because their lives embrace a wider reality." – Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI Blessings for the week ahead!

COMMUNITY LIFE 5 Be Family Religious Education 2018 - 2019 As we enter into a ‘new normal’ for our three parishes sharing one pastor, a representative catechist from each of the three parishes met to discuss how we might proceed with Religious Education in this new model. We discussed the options and we prayed. Given our limited resources, and the fact that Fr. David would like to be a part of this program when he is available, we came to the conclusion that one program for the three parishes would be best. Having had these conversations together, and individually discerning God’s will, we are now ready to move forward. “Family Religious Education” for Holy Cross, St. Rita, and St. Patrick, will be held on Wednesday evenings at the St. Patrick Parish Center. Our first class will be held on October 3rd from 6:00 - 7:00 p.m. We will meet each Wednesday evening except the third Wednesday of the month. This program is for children and their families up through age 12. To register for Religious Education, go to the children link, under the Faith Formation tab on our website - www.saintpats.org.
