ST. PATRICK PARISH
Sister Parish Announcement
2012 CSW
Letter from Bishop Christensen concerning HHS policy
FUNERAL SERVICES
FROM THE PASTOR:
Please keep in your prayers Jeanne Darnold, who works with our elementary children in the Religion Formation Program. Jeanne’s mother died recently, following a lengthy illness.
This weekend we begin our annual celebration of Catholic Schools Week. We should be proud of the excellent Catholic School that is a part of our Parish. In the last few years and most recently in a letter, Bishop Christensen has spread the message that the “responsibility of supporting our 15 exceptional Catholic elementary schools does not rest solely on the parishes that have schools and on parents who pay tuition. All Catholics, including those in parishes without schools, are asked to consider their obligation to the greater Church.”
Therefore as we begin our observance of Catholic Schools we will participate in the Diocesan wide collection that provides direct funding to the parishes with schools. This tradition, begun by Bishop Christensen in 2009, has given the parishes with schools $178,000.00 of assistance. Each school receives a percentage of the collection based on the number of students enrolled. If you are able to support this collection please contribute using the envelopes you will find in the pews.
In the past couple of weeks I have had numerous opportunities to interact with our young people, including at our school and in our elementary, middle school, and high school Religious Formation Programs. We at St. Patrick’s should be proud of our young people. They have been respectful and welcoming to me, as several have come up to me and introduced themselves to me. I have given them the chance to ask questions of me, and they have both wanted to know more about me, about how I decided to become a priest, and have asked me questions that they were curious about regarding our faith. Several of the high school students also asked that I remember them in prayer during their final exams. Let us all pray for our young people, that God may protect them from all harm and bless them especially when they are worried or stressed for any reason.
