This Week at St. Patrick – Week of October 12

Greetings Fighting Irish!

It’s Homecoming Week at St. Patrick!  We have much to celebrate.  Thank you for your love, prayers, and support each day.  YOU are what makes our school so special, and you are a huge part of this long-standing legacy of Catholic education.

We have many events and activities planned for Homecoming 2020.  Please see the calendar section below as well as emails we sent out last week for all of the details.  Face coverings and social distancing are required at all St. Patrick Homecoming events – we appreciate everyone’s cooperation.

Wow!  So far, you have raised $94,720 in the Luck of the Irish Raffle this year – we’ve reached RECORD NUMBERS, and we have just more than $5,000 left to reach our goal this week!  Thank you!  Our first $1,000 drawing will be this Friday at noon LIVE on Facebook and YouTube.

St. Patrick is closed today in observance of our Fall Holiday.  Classes will resume tomorrow morning.

Let’s make it a great Homecoming Week!

Principal

Scripture of the Week

Hosea 10:12: “Sow for yourselves righteousness, reap the fruit of unfailing love, and break up your unplowed ground; for it is time to seek the LORD, until he comes and showers righteousness on you.”

What a beautiful challenge! Even more beautiful is the promise that God will help us break up the unplowed ground in our hearts as we seek him. He will pour out his blessings and his righteousness on us as we pursue his righteousness.

Lord Most High, use your Holy Spirit to purify and cultivate my heart so that it is soft and receptive to your will and compassionate to those in need. Make it a holy place for your Spirit to live. In Jesus’ name we pray. Amen.

Happy Birthday
