JUNE 28, 2020 THIRTEENTH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME
ST. PATRICK'S IS OPEN FOR MASSES Saturday 4:30 p.m. Sunday: 8:00 a.m., 10:00 a.m., and 5:00 p.m. Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday Daily Masses: 4:30 p.m. (no 8:30 a.m. Mass) (We decided to move our daily masses from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. to accommodate those who were not able to attend Weekend Masses and give ample time to disinfect the church in case of funerals).
We encourage parishioners and visitors age 65+, those with underlying health conditions or if you do not feel well to remain home and continue to watch our masses live streamed online at both Saturday 4:30 p.m. and Sunday 10:00 a.m. If you do not feel comfortable coming back to Mass just yet, that is also fine. The suspension of the obligation to come to church continues to be in effect. Just stay home. If you think that you could have been exposed unwilling to Covid-19 even if you have no symptoms, please stay home and continue to worship with us via live stream. Important: "Let us know” if you are planning to attend Weekend Mass due to the restricted numbers of parishioners we can accommodate. Go to the mystpatricks.com home page find the sign up and click on it. You can also email [email protected] or call (508) 234-5656 by Thursday Noon. There is no need to “Let us know” if you are planning to attend daily Masses.
Enter through the Chapel Wearing a mask is mandatory, unless you have a medical condition, when inside of the Church. Bring your own hand sanitizer if you can.
Follow the instructions of the Greeter for seating. Individuals will be seated 6 feet apart while families can sit in one pew together. Unfortunately, you may not be in your “normal” seat.
No Bulletins will be handed out but will be available online.
Sing in your heart as it is recommended that we not sing in Church. Our music ministry will sing for us.
Remain in the pews for Communion. A Eucharistic Minister will come to you. When you receive the host in your hand, consume it after the Eucharistic Minister has moved on to the next person.
Collection baskets will not be passed during mass. You will see baskets at the entrances of the church for your donations.
When leaving the church keep 6 feet apart from others.
If you attend mass and then test COVID positive, it would be very much appreciated if you would let Fr. Tomasz know, so we can confidentially inform and make parishioners aware someone who attended the same mass as they had have tested positive. You can do so confidentially.
Thank you for your understanding and co-operation.
We are looking forward to seeing you!

Seed Of Faith Hi Everyone,
We are excited to launch our Seeds of Faith Summer program . This is a seven week program based on the Catholic Social Justice teachings. For every week you complete you may earn one of the St. Patrick's Woppuls that have managed to infest the parish during this time of pandemic. They are Father Tom-a-to, Lettuce Pray, Laudato Si, Mary, the Blessed Virgin, Jesus and the Lamb, the Guardian Angel and the Mystery Woppul of week 7! For every week you complete please email [email protected]... and we will have your Woppul ready for you to pick up. Please work at your own pace. You have the entire summer to work on this. Please take pictures as you go and share them with Aileen. Have fun and enjoy.
If you would like to help call 508-234-5656 or e-mail [email protected]

Some Facebook posts from Fr. Tomasz
Why do I believe in God? To me it is very simple: God is about loving and car-ing for one another:)
Jesus’ heart is filled with one thing only: Love :)
But I say to you: Love your enemies—Jesus :)
Thank you God for this beau ful day. Let’s spread beauty and sunshine. :)
Hi Friends, I was recently asked why I have been at Church so much because after all it is a pandemic and the world has shut down. A lot has shut down but not St. Patrick's. We have been hard at work and are excited to launch two new projects for this summer. The first project is called Seeds of Faith. This is a seven week program you do from home and
is for anyone who wants to participate, the young, the young at heart, parishioners and friends. This project is based on the seven themes of Catholic Social Justice. Each week has five different tasks to try. If you complete three of them you may adopt one of the Woopuls that have come to live at St. Patrick's during the pandemic. We have learned the Woopuls are pack animals and like to live together. This is why we encourage you to continue the project to adopt all 7 of the Woopuls that make up the pack. You can work at your own pace. You have all summer to complete the project. Some of you who have been working in the garden or donated food may find you have already completed some of the tasks. Once you have completed a week, let me know and we will catch your Woopul and let you know when you may come and pick it up. The second project we are planning is also born of the pandemic. This is the 20th year St. Patrick's has been sponsoring a YNIA team to go across the country and participate in service to communities as well as grow deeper in faith and Catholic Social Justice. This year 22 teens and 5 chaperones were eagerly antici-pating our trip to Tacoma Washington. Obviously this is not able to happen. We have been researching and investigating what the YNIA team can do to continue to serve. The project presented and overwhelmingly accepted by the team is to build a prayer garden over by the cur-rent St. Patrick's Community Garden. We will spend August 1st through the 6th building the garden and also continuing the mission of YNIA to grow deeper in our faith and Catholic Social Justice. Our theme this year is "New Beginnings". It is tied to Creation, Noah and the Ark and many other events throughout the Bi-ble. The team has started to meet on the lawn and planning out the garden. Currently the garden shape has been designed and the team is working on figuring out how much material is going to cost. Many of their ide-as include using recycled material to decrease cost but also cover the teaching of "Care for the Environ-ment". To fund the garden we will be quickly launching car washes and appealing to the parish for funds or materials. The teens are very excited to be able to provide something to their own community that will be a lasting re-minder of 2020, YNIA and the parish's continued support of YNIA. While they love to travel the country and see other cultures they are excited about the permanence of this project to St. Patrick's. The pandemic of 2020 has stopped a lot and we are all learning how to live and work within the new environ-ment but life at St. Patrick's has not stopped. Please have fun with the Seeds of Faith project, adopt your Woopuls, look for car washes and watch the progression of the Prayer Garden. Aileen
