“The Mission of St. Patrick Parish is to encourage, form and inspire intentional disciples of Jesus Christ.”
P 2 S , J 6, 2019
Dear Friends in Christ, ThankYou! I’m happy to announce that that we have been able to pay off our parish debt! Because of your support and generosity, we have been able to build a new school, parish office building, and rectory at the Crane Road campus. In addition, we have been able to renovate and restore the downtown church and the Fr. Carse Center. I would like to thank Msgr. Joe Linster and the many parish leaders and volunteers who planned and implemented the Crane Road projects for the well being and growth of the parish. I am also grateful to everyone who helped with the fundraising and provided support to make all of this happen at both campuses. We are blessed with a very generous parish and it is a blessing for me to serve as your pastor. Thank you! In last weekend’s bulletin I wrote that we would be discontinuing the yellow debt reduction envelope that was part of the monthly envelope packet. We have replaced that with a “maintenance fund” envelope that will help us maintain the many buildings we have on both campuses. Our churches and our buildings exist for the purpose of ministry, worship, and prayer. Our desire is to be good stewards of the resources that we have been blessed with so that the mission of the Church and our parish can be served and will flourish.
Msgr.Knox’sSabbaticalProgramI will be in Rome for an academic sabbatical from January 20 until April 8. I will be participating in the Institute of Continuing Theological Education (ICTE). Basically it’s an ongoing formation/renewal program that helps one become a better priest and leader. We are allowed to take one of these after 15 years of service. I have never taken one of these, so after 30 years of priestly service I thought it was time! I will be back in time to celebrate Holy Week and Easter with the parish. Fr. Gonnella and Fr. Sarmiento will be leading the parish while I’m away for a few months. A retired priest in our diocese, Fr. Perfecto Vasquez, will be helping out while I’m on sabbatical. I’ll remember all of you in my daily prayers when I am away. Please lift some up for me too! In Christ, Msgr. Steve Knox
In Dempsey Hall on the Crane Road Campus Saturday: 2:00 PM to 6:00 PM Sunday: 7:30 AM to 2:00 PM
Bring your family, friends and fellow parishioners to see the miracle of
Christ’s birth in the depictions of the Nativity!

Bishop Robert Barron’s newest study program
T H E M A S S
This Winter we have an excellent new spiritual enrichment program recently produced by Bishop Robert Barron.
This new series is simply entitled: “The Mass: Encountering Heaven on Earth.” This new series begins on Tuesday, February 12, 2019
This new 6 session program on the Mass will be facilitated by Fr. Gonnella, Fr. Sarmiento and Seminarian Nick Sentovich. We will have the DVD presentation by Bishop Barron, some discussion, and then some “walk through the Mass” teaching by our facilitators. The program has an excellent study guide to help guide our journey together.
The morning gathering will be at the Downtown Church from 9:00 to 10:30 a.m. and in the evening at Crane Road from 7:00 to 8:30 p.m.
Here is the focus of each session: Tuesday, February 12 — “A Privileged Encounter” Tuesday, March 5 — “Responding to God” Tuesday, February 19 — “Called Out of the World” Tuesday, March 12—“Preparing for Sacrifice” Tuesday, February 26 — “God Speaks Our Story” Tuesday, March 19 — “The Real Presence Creates Communion”
Walk through the Liturgy with Bishop Barron and you’ll be transformed through insights on this most privileged and intimate encounter with our Lord Jesus Christ. See how the Mass brings us out of the fallen world and into the heavenly realm, how it resonates with a call from God and a response from his people, the Church and, most importantly, how we are intimately joined with the Body, Blood, Soul, and Divinity of Jesus through the Holy Eucharist. The Mass will help you understand how to fully, consciously, and actively participate in the source and summit of Christian life.
Please register as soon as possible! Cost for the materials will be $20. Questions? Please contact, Jenny at 630-338-8013 or e-mail [email protected]. To Register please fill out the form below and drop it

Every now and then it is good to slow down and allow the Lord to renew our faith lives. All women of the parish and their friends are invited to participate in this “retreat” day to make connections between faith and everyday life through some talks and discussion. You will also be able to meet some of your fellow parishioners in a relaxed atmosphere. Along with Msgr.
