Thank You!

To the team of men and women who assisted us in taking down the Christmas decorations this year. Your time and service is greatly appreciated. 

A big thank you to Don Spindor for his assistance with replacing Father’s hot water tank in the rectory.

Drinking with the Saints – Monthly Men’s Nights

Announcing the official launching of our men’s ministry! 

Come join some of the men at St. Patrick’s Parish as we enjoy a drink in honour of the Saints. Each month we will pick a patron, hear their story, and raise a glass. There will be light fare, unique cocktails, and good conversation. This is not a faith study, it is an opportunity for the Men in our Parish to get to know one another & join in fellowship.

“Iron sharpens iron, and one man sharpens another”.

Interested in World Youth Day in Portugal?

We are taking applications! Call the office to talk to Hannah or email her directly. Email is on the website. Ages to apply are 18-30 years old. 

What is it? WYD is a worldview encounter for all young people. This community wide encounter is centered around Jesus Christ. You can personally experience the universal Catholic church and share the hope of evangelization with those you come home to. Deepen your faith, prayer life and understanding of the sacraments with thousands of other young people. 

Pope John Paul once said at a WYD, “I repeat again today what I said at Santiago de Compostela: “Young people, do not be afraid to be holy!” Fly high, be among those whose goals are worthy of sons and daughters of God. Glorify God in your lives!”
