An Update on Fr. Eric - Keep our Pastor, Fr. Eric, in your prayers. On Monday, February 11, he underwent bypass surgery. The surgery went well and he is recovering. He is in good spirits, and looking forward to getting back to St. Patrick and the football field. -- Dear Heavenly Father, restore to full health, mind, and body all those in need. Amen.

Please note: Fr. Eric will not be checking email or returning phone calls while he recovers. If you need anything immediately, contact the front office, otherwise, Fr. Eric looks forward to hearing from everyone when he returns. We ask that there be no visitors or flowers. Cards can be sent to the church. Thank you for your respect and understanding as he recovers.
