Saint Patrick Parish Weaverville

In nine days, the U.S. Bishops will consecrate these United States to the Sacred Heart of Jesus. Join in prayer for the eight days preceding the June 11 Consecration, and on the Consecration Day itself: https://www.usccb.org/novena-sacred-heart-jesus

This is a part of the work of spiritual renewal being undertaken in complement to and in patriotic service of our nation's 250th anniversary of independence.

(There are several printed copies of this novena in the kitchen at Canterbury Hall, for those who want a hard copy to pray with and have a means of retrieving the packet.)

Christ Is Risen!! Humbled and grateful to share this Trinity Journal Easter article featuring St. Patrick's. May God bless you and your family during these 50 joyful days of Eastertide! Alleluia!!

Easter services began in Weaverville on Sunday morning when a volunteer from the liturgy team stood at the pulpit and cried out, “Hallelujah.” More than 90 people filled the pews at St. Patrick Parish, nearing its posted capacity of 126. Outside, the air matched the feeling inside. It was sunny ...

Friends, in case you missed it, an ashen cross traced on the parish priest's forehead by one of our parish's dedicated altar servers featured prominently on the front page of the Trinity Journal last week. Local reporter Francisco Martinezcuello wrote up a great article on Ash Wednesday at St. Patrick's, which can be found here: https://www.trinityjournal.com/news/local/article_689fb757-d193-43c8-9e3e-4514a784857d.html

May your Lent be blessed with the companionship of the Lord Jesus!

At 5:30 p.m. on Ash Wednesday, Feb. 18, about 40 parishioners gathered inside St. Patrick Parish in Weaverville as the last of the snow stopped falling. Most sat in the back two rows of the pews, winter coats still on, as if ready to leave quickly if the weather turned again. A winter storm warning....

Lent is right around the corner! As we enter the desert with Christ to engage in spiritual combat, we take up the arms of fasting, prayer, and almsgiving, seeking to conform ourselves to our Savior's pattern of life. We also start with a healthy memento of our mortality–ashes on our foreheads, and hunger in our stomachs. Here's our Lenten schedule (NB: the Ash Wednesday service at St. Gilbert's in Lewiston will be a Liturgy of the Word, not a Mass).

Stations of the Cross are a Lenten tradition that date back to St. Francis' day--800 years ago. Praying with Jesus on His sorrowful journey to Calvary is a beautiful way to sanctify this holy season! This year we’re reviving the practice of a potluck soup supper (meatless!) in Canterbury Hall after Stations are finished.

Friends, St. Patrick's Parish was recently featured in a Trinity Journal article about our Christmas Midnight Mass. Gratitude is due to reporter Francisco Martinezcuello for taking the time and thought to craft a good write-up. Also, it's worth saying that the pictures he captured to lend visual flair to the article are a credit to the dedicated team that decorated our church for Christmas, both inside and out!

Here's a link to the article:

An outdoor Nativity glowed like a beacon in the dark on the soaked grass in front of St. Patrick Parish late on Wednesday, Dec. 24. A brief break between rainstorms and flood watches allowed more than a dozen sleepy parishioners to walk from the parking lot toward the church, its facade trimmed with...

Blessed New Year to all! Friends, here's a short prayer for new beginnings:

"Almighty God, may everything we do begin with Your inspiration and continue with Your saving help. Let our work always find its origin in You and through You reach completion. We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen"

Entering this new year, our task is to "work out [our] salvation with fear and trembling" (Phil 2:12), yet with the conviction of a living hope, because Heaven is worth any struggle, and God has promised to help us. Indeed, for those living in Christ, who persevere in His Body, the Church, "in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him Who has loved us" (Romans 8:37).

May you guard and grow the abiding life of His sanctifying grace in the midst of this year's upcoming struggles, everyday battles, and joys of year ahead, and may He bless your family with His peace!
