Welcome to St. Patrick’s!

Whether you are one of the dedicated members of our 700 family parish; a recent visitor, or if you are looking for a community to call home, we hope this site helps connect you with our parish.  St. Patrick’s prides itself on its good liturgies, inviting atmosphere, and commitment to service.  We embrace these as hallmarks of our identity, and evidence of our commitment to Jesus Christ.

This year, St.Patrick School (K-8) celebrates its 60th Anniversary, with increased enrollment from last year.  Our Early Education Center continues to provide daily care for the youngest in the Northland.  Our Sunday morning Children’s Faith Formation (C.F.F) aids our public school parishioners to grow in their Catholic faith (K-8), and our Wednesday evening Youth Group (E.D.G.E) ministers to our teenagers.  Opportunities for Adult Faith Formation abound at St. Patrick through our Coffee and Theology Sessions (held between the Sunday Masses), weekly Bible Studies, Bishop Helmsing Institute classes, and Small Christian Communities.  ”Rita’s Raiders” bring the Eucharist and provide companionship to the homebound and ill in our parish. Our Sunday choir and seasonal bell choir assist us in worship, with regular training for those who wish to serve our community during the liturgies.  Eucharistic Adoration is held in our chapel every Thursday between 1 and 5 PM, First Friday Masses are held at 8AM, and Morning Prayer is led every Saturday morning from 7 – 8 AM.  Our commitment to the mental and physical well-being of others is exemplified through our on-site counseling services (staffed by Catholic Charities), food pantry, and 4th Sunday volunteers at Catholic Worker House.  We have a decade of support to the people of El Salvador, and on-going commitment to TurnAround (assisting those transitioning from incarceration back into society).

Please contact the parish office if I or anyone on our parish staff can be of assistance to you.  We are a strong and resilient community with a deep love for the Catholic tradition.  We welcome your involvement in the life of St. Patrick’s: the parish we call home.

With Gratitude in Jesus Christ,

Fr. Justin Hoye, Pastor
