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.
OUR RESPONSIBILITY FOR OTHERS
The Second Vatican Council has called us to envision the Church as the people of God. As a community of believers we are responsible for our brothers and sisters, their salva-tion, their journey of faith, their physical well-being. Many of the documents of Vatican II and volumes of work since the mid-1960s give us advice, guidelines, and encouragement to take care of one another: the poor, the elderly, the unborn, the broken, the infirm.
Because Vatican II is part of our recent history—indeed many of us were already born—this may strike us as a new and revolutionary idea. But today’s readings show us the age-lessness of the issue of social justice. Eight hundred years before Christ was born, Amos warned the wealthy not to cheat the poor. In Paul’s first letter to Timothy, he encourages all prayers to be for all people; and finally, the Gospel urges the wise use of money.
