All children Kindergarden to 5th Grade are invited to a special Christmas Charity Program on Sunday, December 12th from 1:30-4:00pm. Please contact Karen McCuean at donmccuean@aol.com for reservations as space is limited. 

For 37 years, we have enjoyed our annual Summer's End Parish Fair, and the proceeds from this fun and fundraising event helped to support our annual parish budget. However, because of the covid 19 virus that is still with us, sadly we were not able to get together for this special Summer's End social for the past two years. Through the dedication and hard work of over 600 parish volunteers, we averaged about $75,000 a year for our parish from each Summer's End event. 
Our Finance Council members, and chairs of the Summer's End Faid, had a number of discussions to decide how we could best supply the shortfall that we incurred during these years. So, a decision was reached that will not be labor intestive, does not require sponsoring a raffle, or dealing with the problem of possible incliment weather.
After speaking with a number of our parishioners, it was decided to have this alternative to ur famous Summer's End Fair. How about calling this our "St. Patrick Summer's End Non-Fair"?
So, we are calling on all of our parish families to join with us at this time to prayerfully consider offering a one-time donation of $150 to help us make up for the aggregate financial loss of the past two years. 
I can't stress enough how important it is that you continue to support your St. Patrick Parish Faith Family if you are able to do so. 
I want to express a word of deep appreciation to all of you who are helping us to support our parish in a consistent and sacrificial way--even during these difficult times with the covid 19 virus and varients still overshadowing all that we are trying to do. If you are experiencing a financial crisis at this time, please contact our Christian Service office for assistance. I want you to know of my prayers for you that your situation will soon improve and that all our parishioners will remain healthy. 
As we together continue to navigate this continuing major pandemic, please continue to take your perscribed health precautions and pray for our parish family of St. Patrick.
Thank you for your prayers, your support and your faithfulness. May the Lord bless and keep you and your loved ones safe from harm during this challenging time for us all.
