Rich & Betsy Randolph made a visit to Southern California to visit their son over the Father's Day weekend. They had the opportunity to meet up with Sandy & Ron Keith who were also in the area to welcome their new granddaughter!
Above is a photo of our St. Pat's parishioners on the pier at Huntington Beach.
They enjoyed lunch together on the pier and it was so nice for them to see each other away from home.
Sandy & Ron, thank you for sharing these photos! Congratulations on the new arrival of your baby granddaughter, Reese!

The Episcopal Foundation of Northern California presents
The Life Planning Workshop -- Seniors Being Prepared




This workshop is to learn how to help your family know where to find vital papers that your family needs to know at your death.
The workshop will deal with personal assets, people to notify, powers of attorney and advance directives, will and trusts, and information your priest needs to know about your preferences for a funeral or memorial service, and many other topics.
Each attendee will receive a workbook that will guide you in your organizing. An electronic fill-in-the-blank version will also be available. 
If you are interested in attending, please call Bobbiejo at 707-833-4228, ext. 1 and she’ll take your name & number down to call you back when the workshop is back on the calendar.

Sonoma County United in Kindness

Communities like ours around the country-and around the world- are gathering in solidarity to denounce acts of violence and hate. An urgency for peace and reason is bubbling up like a geyser ready to burst in a powerful show of force for change.

The Interfaith Council of Sonoma County, Of One Soul, invites you to take part in a campaign titled, “Sonoma County United in Kindness”. It is time to stop violence with tangible acts of kindness and build good will, harmony and kindness. This campaign is non-denominational and not political but humanitarian!
Please access the website to read the action plan and then sign the Declaration, InterfaithSonoma.org/Declaration, either online or print out a form, sign it and leave it at St. Patrick’s. If you have any question, please contact the program organizers by email at Unitedinkindness@interfaithsonoma.org

Step forward now to create a safer, more humane and joyful community for ourselves and our children!
For this coming Sunday, St. Patrick’s is thankful for Susan Boak & Hutch Gibb for hosting coffee hour after the 8:30 service. We would also like to thank Stephanie Chapralis McCaffrey & Dorothy Mills for hosting the coffee hour after the 10:30 service. We appreciate each of you!
If you would like to host a coffee hour, contact Dorothy Mills. You may talk with her or sign up in Stevenson Hall. The Parish enjoys this time after each service on Sunday mornings and it means so much for each volunteer to be a part of it. Thanks so much!

Are you interested in becoming more proficient?  If so, we need your talents!  We are putting together a music group with FREE lessons, taught by John Waltz.
 
Our goal is to “grow our own” group to add joyful worship to our services and to help the congregation learn to sing with us, particularly at the earlier service.  We’ll be learning worship songs from a variety of sources.
 
Lessons will be every 2-3 weeks, with practices in between as schedules allow. Time & place to be determined, depending on the interest and where people live.
 
For more information, and to sign up please contact Kate Aldrich at kaldrich@sonic.net or call 539-9603.

On June 4th, Beth B, Dennis M, Denise M, Brad and Barbara S, Renee (driver) and I helped Redwood Empire Food Bank distribute what seemed like TONS of a huge variety of meats, milks, veggies, snacks, fruits, and breads to 29 families!  
Most were "repeaters"
(a good thing) but some were first timers!

Our present goal is 30 families - we are SO close!
 
Rest well, knowing some are NOT going to bed hungry for the next many days!
~Submitted by Eleanor Albon

Redwood Empire Food Bank volunteers meet every 1st & 3rd Tuesdays of the month from 5PM- 6PM.
Consider joining our wonderful ministry. It doesn't take very long, and it's a great way to meet our Community.
