A BEACON OF CHRIST'S LOVE
MESSAGE FROM FR. JEFF
Hello everybody!

We are excited to roll out the new look of our weekly email, along with a new name: The Celtic Communicator. This email began during the pandemic as a way to stay connected and has continued to prove valuable as way for us to be informed and engaged in the many ministries at St. Pats. The new format will highlight current happenings and direct toward next steps on our website, which is becoming the central hub for all of our events and activities. Thanks to those who have worked so hard on this redesign and ensuring we can all stay connected!

Archbishop Shelton will be joining us for Mass at 11:00 a.m. this Sunday. He is coming to offer a special blessing and to celebrate with us the completion of our Beacon of Hope Capital Campaign. With gratitude for your generosity and for God’s abundance, we will highlight the BOH projects, have cookies and hot chocolate after Mass, and host an open house for the different areas and projects. Please join me and Archbishop Shelton on Sunday. 

May your heart be open for the coming of Jesus during this Advent season. God bless!

Peace,

Fr. Jeff
