Mission Statement
St. Patrick Catholic Church is a faith-filled community that is forever growing in a rela-tionship with Christ. We celebrate the pres-ence of Christ in Word and Sacrament, demonstrate love and concern for all parish-ioners, teach by example, and strive to serve the needs of all in the community.
GOD IS WITH US
The book of Wisdom tells us that the spirit of God is in all things. What a wonderful thought, and what a wonderful image to keep in front of us as we travel down life’s road. For if the path is revealed in the treading, it’s good to know that God is with us—and all around us—every step of the way.
But Paul knows that this divine presence is not timid. Instead, God calls out to us, and Paul prays that we, along with the Thessalonians, might be made worthy of that call. And who knows more about God’s call than Zacchaeus, the tax collector? Jesus called him out of a tree, for goodness’ sake. Or perhaps more correctly, as we reflect upon the end of to-day’s Gospel reading, for heaven’s sake.
