A Message From our Pastor
Dear People of St. Patrick,
On this first Sunday of May, I am so grateful to Mother Mary for all her prayers and acts
of love that she has sent to Saint Patrick Catholic Parish, Rodeo-Hercules so far this year.
Our students, who received the Sacrament of Confirmation, were truly blessed and were
not afraid to show the power of the Holy Spirit acting in their young lives. I am very
proud of these young men and women who opened themselves to Christ and made the
two year journey. As a parish, our prayers go out to you as you continue your faith
journey that will lead you to heaven.
Bishop Barber said many great things about you, the People of St. Patrick, during
Confirmation. Prayerfulness, sense of good liturgy, music and singers and also
congratulated and thanked our parish for all the successes and efforts that put St. Patrick
Parish, the first parish to reach goal in the Capital Campaign. Yes, our parish deserves
this praise!
We thank Mother Mary for all the children of the parish who will receive their First
Holy Communion next Saturday. Can you imagine Mother Mary in heaven watching
them receive her Son, Jesus, for the very first time?
Think of God the Father and Jesus smiling in heaven on Saturday, May 30th as we
celebrate Flores de Mayo and show our love to them and to Mary by our procession,
Mass, crowning of Mary, and celebration. Make sure you join us in this great act of love
and devotion.
During this month of May, we continue to honor God by honoring Mary by praying the
Rosary, bringing flowers to Mary’s statue and praying and asking Mary to pray for our
world and for an end to all the hate and violence.
Pray for us O Holy Mother of God, for us sinners now, and at the hour of our death.
God Bless,
Fr. Larry Young
Pastor

listen to your ideas.

is our opportunity to be a church that makes a difference
in people’s lives.
Life at St. Patrick Parish
Next Sunday,
we expect the collection will be higher due to all those who will win at the Day at the Races. Place
your bets and remember those of us that cannot be with you, will pray that your horse wins.
Tuesday, Let us Pray for Mexico as we celebrate Cinco de Mayo. Let us pray that our Catholic families from
Mexico will not lose their Catholic faith and will remain faithful to the Catholic faith they received from their parents and
grandparents.
Next Sunday is Mother’s Day
and we hope that many of you will come to Mass with your Mothers,
Grandmothers and Godmothers. We can honor these ladies in our lives by praying together as Mass.
Thank You to all the adults, teen leaders and all those who helped prepare our Confirmation classes this past
year and the year before. Without you, we could not do it. You are a blessing to our parish.
Let us Keep Celebrating Easter
A Special Welcome
as we journey to Pentecost Sunday.
to the many new faces and especially the new families we are seeing at weekly Mass.
Congratulations to Doreen May Cope and Dolores Encarnacion Inductivo who made First Reconciliation,
First Communion and Confirmation. Your hard work and taking instruction I hope, was well worth the effort and
congratulations as you join us at the table of the Lord.
