Welcome back, Senior Lunch! After First Friday Mass, our seniors gathered for their first luncheon of the season following a summer break. A picnic-themed lunch, good conversation, and plenty of smiles made for a wonderful afternoon. Thank you to the Health Ministry and everyone who joined us and helped make the day so special!

We are delighted to share this inspiring video featuring our parishioner, Thom Ryng, who reflects on his journey of walking the Camino de Santiago and the healing he found along the way. Thom and his beloved wife, Francine, were both cherished members of our parish community, and many of us remember Francine with great affection. This moving story is a beautiful witness to faith, love, perseverance, and hope. We invite you to watch and share. ❤️

Are You Registered at Our Parish?

We've recently heard from several people who have shared that they've been attending Mass here for quite some time but felt that nobody from the parish had ever reached out to them. In many cases, when we look into it, we discover they were never officially registered as parishioners.

While attending Mass is the most important part of parish life, registration is how you officially join our parish community. It helps us know who is part of our parish family, welcome newcomers, keep you informed about parish events and ministries, and provide assistance when sacramental records, sponsor certificates, tax statements, or other parish services are needed.

Registration is also important for the parish as a whole. Parish membership numbers help determine resources, planning, and support from the diocese.

If Saint Patrick is your parish home, but you've never registered, we encourage you to do so today. Registration is a simple but meaningful way to say, "I belong here."

To register, visit https://go.saintpats.org/register_saintpatrick or contact the parish office at [email protected].

We are grateful that you worship with us, and we look forward to getting to know you better!

❤️ You are not just attending Mass here. You are part of our parish family.

On this beautiful celebration of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary, we give thanks for the many parishioners from Saint Patrick and Holy Cross who helped make this special Archdiocesan Mass at Cheney Stadium a success.

We are especially grateful to parishioner Mike Faltus, whose leadership and dedication helped bring this inspiring event to life. Thank you to all who volunteered, participated, and witnessed to our Catholic faith as we gathered in honor of Our Blessed Mother.

Read more from Northwest Catholic below and keep Mary close to your heart as we continue to follow her example of saying "yes" to Christ.
