Bulletin: 5th Sunday in Ordinary Time



Our parish relies on your generosity. Your donations each year directly impact our ability to minister to those in need, to provide special programs such as Alpha and CGS, to offer small group faith studies, to maintain our buildings, and to grow our parish school.


The final numbers are in – and our parish really stepped up in 2025!
With incredible gratitude we are happy to share with you that while the goal set for us by the Archdiocese was $44,100, St. Patrick’s, Maple Ridge raised $111,273.03!!!
This means that after the Archdiocese has finished processing all of the fees and levies, we will see $63,934.36 come back to our parish to be invested in this beautiful place that is home to us all.
