Opening Prayer
O God, whose blessed Son Jesus is the good shepherd of your people: Grant that when we hear his voice we may know him who calls us each by name, and follow where he leads; who, with you and the holy Spirit, lives and reigns, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.

Xavier Fonseca and Ana Lucia Polacios are members of our congregation who moved here from Nicaragua seeking safety. They are in the midst of processing all of the applications, working though the legal system, and all of the things that go into being  able to work and live officially as members of our community in the United States. This is an overwhelming Process. They are both trained dentists and Doctors of Public Health Administration.
Xavier and Ana Lucia are currently here legally, yet, out of work partly due to the current COVID-19 crises, having lost one job due to this event, and not being able to gain other employment during this time of crises. They are offering their skills to our church community and others to make ends meet until they are on the other end of this daunting task. If you need any of these services, please contact them at (707) 849-9037, dr.fonseca.clinicadental@gmail.com, or dra.analuciapalacios@gmail.com.
Services Safely Provided include:
-Haircutting
-Computer Assistance
-Car Detailing
-Grocery Shopping
-Food Delivery
-Small Home Repairs
Thank you for your consideration of this opportunity.
Peace be with you,

Let’s reflect on what Saint Patrick’s means to us. It is our community of faith that informs our outlook on everything else in our lives. Many of us have found community, joy, meaning, and grace, among many other things. For most of us, this relationship has been a blessing and an important part of our life and who we are.
Saint Patrick’s is a beacon of light to the community; and we share in that. We are each moved in different ways by this experience. For many, this is deeply personal, as well as, communal. We are part of something bigger than ourselves, something that makes the world a better place, and which touches the lives of many outside the Church for the good.
There is no guarantee that Saint Patrick’s will be here to meet the needs of future generations to spread the good news and be part of the healing of the world, our mission in Christ. Let’s do our part to help continue the story of our parish, as we are each called to help this ministry thrive and to endure in this time, and after we are gone.
Please read below to learn how you can participate in making sure that our ministry at Saint Patrick’s will flourish now, and ongoing, with the saints and times to come. A very special legacy!
May the Peace of Christ be with you,
Priest Doyle
Rector of Saint Patrick’s Episcopal Church, Kenwood CA.
