Saint Patrick Parish is a Christian community of disciples in the Roman Catholic tradition, called by Jesus, united in Eucharistic worship and growing in faith, hope and love. Nourished through the sacraments and strengthened by God’s transforming love, we are empowered to know the gospel message and to bear witness to others. As Christian stewards, we are thankful for God’s many gifts and we commit ourselves to share our time, talent and treasure in Christ-like service within our parish com-munity and beyond. We seek God’s blessing and guidance to be faithful to this mission.
MISSION STATEMENT
THE SACRAMENT OF RECONCILIATION: Confessions are heard on Sat-urday afternoon from 4:30 to 5:15 PM and anytime upon reasonable request. THE SACRAMENT OF BAPTISM: Second & fourth Sundays at 1:00 PM. Expectant parents may contact the parish office to arrange for the baptism seminar class on the third Thursday of every month. The class is held in the Religious Education Building, Room 7 at 7:30 PM. Adults are baptized and confirmed at the Easter Vigil after completing the stages of the Rite of Christian Initiation. RCIA – Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults: A process for those who wish to enter the Catholic Faith, or for present Catholic individuals who after being baptized need to receive the sacraments of Holy Eucharist and Confirmation. For more information, please call our Parish Office. THE SACRAMENT OF MATRIMONY: Since Catholic marriage requires a time of preparation, arrangements should begin at least six months before the proposed date of the wedding to allow for the Marriage Preparation Program and Natural Family Planning (NFP). PASTORAL CARE OF THE SICK: If you are planning to enter the hospital for surgery, experiencing a prolonged or serious illness, or home-bound, call the parish office to arrange for the sacraments of recon-ciliation, communion and anointing at home. Communal anointing of the sick is celebrated at Mass during the Advent and Lenten seasons. WELCOME TO NEW PARISHIONERS: The Saint Patrick faith community warmly welcomes you! Please introduce yourself to the celebrant of the mass you are attending as you leave the church so that, on behalf of the entire community, you may be welcomed. You can register at the parish office and receive any information needed from the office receptionist.

TWENTY-SECOND SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME
First Reading: Deuteronomy 4:1-2, 6-8 Moses tells the people to always observe the statutes God has given them, without adding or subtracting from these laws. He reminds them that the law is just, and that any nation who heard their statutes would consider them a wise nation. Second Reading: James 1:17-18, 21b-22, 27 James discusses the gifts that God has given to all people and implores them to respond by welcoming the words of truth that can save them. He emphasizes that through good deeds and pure conduct, our faith in God is proven to him. Gospel: Mark 7:1-8, 14-15, 21-23 The Pharisees observed some of Jesus’ disciples eating without first purifying their hands and ask the disciples why they are going against their ancestor’s traditions. Jesus responds that nothing from the outside can make a person impure. The only true evil, acts such as fornication, murder, and greed among others, come from within and make a person impure.

Prayer for the Unborn
Jesus, Mary and Joseph, I love you very much. I beg you to spare the life of the unborn child, that I have spiritually adopted, who is in danger of abortion. (Please offer this prayer daily for the unborn.)
From Fr. Charlie Dear Friends in Christ, One of the sad realities that we face in our world is the persecutions of Christians, especially in the Middle East. This week, a man is going to be beatified. A beatification (from the Latin words beatus – blessed and facere – to make) is the recognition accorded by the Catholic Church of a deceased person’s entrance into Heaven and a capacity to intercede on behalf of individuals who pray in his or her name. Being declared a “Blessed” of the Church is one step below being canonized a saint. On August 29th, Flavianus Michael Malke will be beatified in Lebanon. He was born YaQub Malke in the year 1858 in a village called Kalat’ul Mara. Today, it is part of modern day Turkey. Back then, it was part of the Ottoman Empire. Although raised in the Orthodox faith, he converted to Syriac Catholicism and became a religious brother. Upon entering religious life, he received the names Flavianus Michael. After his ordination to the priesthood on May 13, 1883, he served several villages around the city of Aleppo. In 1895, a terrible persecution broke out against Christians. Father Malke’s parish church was destroyed and several of his parishioners were killed, including his own mother. When the persecutions lessened, he was ordained the bishop of Gazireh. In 1915, Bishop Malke heard that another persecution against Christians was going to take place. He was warned by several people to leave his diocese. He refused. His exact words were, “No! I will shed by blood for my sheep!” Bishop Malke was arrested on August 28, 2015. He was given a choice between conversion to Islam or death. When he refused to convert, he was literally beaten to death and then beheaded. Bishop Malke will be beatified on August 29th, exactly one hundred years after his martyrdom. The Mass will be celebrated by the Patriarch of Antioch, Monsignor Ignatius Youssef III Younan. In his announcement, Monsignor Youssef had this to say: “In these painful times experienced by Christians, especially in Iraq and Syria, the news of the beatification of one of their martyrs will surely bring encouragement and consolation to face today’s trials of appalling dimension.” Thousands of Iraqi and Syrian Christians displaced by the on-going war will be present for Bishop Melke’. Monsignor Youssef concluded his announcement with a prayer asking for Bishop Melke’s intercession in helping those suffering persecution, especially in the Middle East: “Blessed Martyr Michael, intercede for us and protect especially the Christians in the Middle East and all the world in these hard and painful days. Amen.” God bless you!
