A message from the Admininstrator of St. Patrick Church

Brothers and sisters,

               This afternoon there was an incident in the area of Penn Park during the time of dismissal.  During that time St. Patrick School was placed on lockdown from about 3pm – 3:40pm as a precaution.  All of our students are safe!!! 

               Please allow me to thank all our staff and teachers who responded appropriately during this situation. 

Sincerely, 

Fr. Keith Michael Carroll

Administrator

Mark your calendars...Ash Wednesday is Wednesday March 5th!

On Wednesday March 5th we begin our Lenten Season with Ash Wednesday. Tuesday March 4th will be our last day in the week of 8th week of Ordinary Time. However, I will offer the Sacrament of Reconciliation from 4pm - 5pm and 6pm - 7pm for those who wish to kick off Lent in a good way. I will also hear confessions on Ash Wednesday from 5pm - 6pm. 

The Mass schedule for Ash Wednesday will be 8:30am and 6:30pm. There will be a liturgy of the word with the distribution of ashes at 12:15pm to accommodate those who need to return to work. 

 

Phone Lines are Back Up!

Good news...at this point the Phone Lines are back up and running! 

Important information in regards to Parish/School phone lines

Important information in regards to Parish/School lines

Late this afternoon I noticed an issue with our phone line.  I have called Comcast and they will be sending a technician out tomorrow during the day.  Right now individuals are able to call the parish and the school, however it is a possibility the set up could fail in the meantime especially if we get high traffic of calls.  If for some reason you cannot get ahold of the parish or the school tomorrow morning/early afternoon please be patient…we are working to have the problem fixed!

Thank you!!! 

Fr. C.

A priest's experience of the Sacrament of Reconciliation!

In a follow up post to yesterdays blog post on the Sacrament of Reconciliation I decided to post a reflection from the priests side in the confessional.  If you have a few moments I encourage everyone to take some time to read it.
