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 Hutch Gibb for hosting coffee hour after the 8:30 service. We are also thankful for Judith Kesot for hosting coffee hour after the 10:30 service. Remember to join us at the later coffee hour when we'll celebrate Luciana's 2nd Birthday!! We appreciate each of you and all others who may jump in & help!

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!
