Registration is Open!

This year's conference is Saturday, February 23, 2019 from 8:30 am - 1:00 pm. Great teams know what it means to have a home field advantage. We will build ours by strengthening the pillars of our community - Hospitality, Liturgy, Stewardship, Social Justice, and Formation - through engaging talks and workshops. Don’t miss this half day conference as, together, we continue building a home field advantage where we can know, love and serve God more as Christian Disciples in Mission who are Living Beyond Sunday through the Beatitudes. Childcare is available (but fills up fast) and lunch is included! Get more information and register now at stpatcc.org/homefield.

Thank you!

Join a Fun Run! - The Shamrocks Running Club welcomes runners of all abilities, and their supporters, into a community that is faith-filled, positive, and supportive of each athlete and their goals.

GIVING, PRAYING & SERVING: Exciting things are happening here! - Engineers were out taking soil samples in the dirt lot and water retention area for the future underground water retention. Plans are moving forward for Spring 2019 Phase 1 work to begin. We will keep you abreast every step of the way!

Matthew 25 Project: Answering the Call to Welcome the Stranger - Fr. Eric and the staff have collected various resources and built one web page where you can find it all. This web page is a quick reference resource stop to help everyone reflect on Church teachings, scripture, and quotes regarding the issue of migration and how the Church is called to respond. Click here to visit the webpage.

Civic Academy - Thank you to everyone who attended our Civic Academy on migration yesterday. Around 400 people gathered to hear stories, learn, and share. It was an important step for our community as we all discover ways we can answer the call to welcome the stranger. Thank you to everyone who worked so hard to put the evening on.
