My Dear Family of St. Patrick Parish,

Our “Lenten Spiritual Renewal Mission” will begin on Monday March 8th at 7:30PM, with a wonderful evening of Prayer and Song.

Father David Russell will be the Preacher at the Mission. As most of you are aware, he is a fantastic Preacher of God’s word. He is a retired Pastor. He was the Shepherd of three parishes in the Archdiocese of Miami. St. Maurice, Hollywood, St. Louis Parish, Pinecrest and St. John Neumann in Kendall. Fr. Russell has taught preaching to seminarians at St. Vincent de Paul Seminary in Deerfield Beach, Fl. He is outstanding in his Ministry as Pastor, Teacher and Priest. We are blessed to have him assisting us at St. Patrick.

Please make sure to attend Monday, March 8th at 7:30 PM. Preaching, Music and Song, at 7:30 PM. Tuesday, March 9th at 7:30 PM. “The Sacrament of Reconciliation with “Confessions.” and Wednesday, March 10, at 7:30 PM. A Healing Mass, with the Sacrament of the Anointing of the Sick at the Mass. This will be a fantastic Mission, please invite your friends..

Roger Grenier will be the Music Minister at the Mission. He was Fr. Russell’s Music Minister at St. Louis Parish years back. He now lives in Ocala. Roger is a magnificent Musician and Vocalist. His recordings will be on sale before and after Mission sessions.

All Parish functions will be canceled for the three nights of the Mission. It is important that everyone in the community attend this inspirational event in the life of St. Patrick Parish family. We need to unite in prayer and forgiveness and experience God’s love.

Hope to see you at the Mission.

Sincerely yours in Christ,

Monsignor John Vaughan
Pastor

LENT AND HOLY WEEK 2010

Dear Parishioners,

We are preparing to celebrate the Holy of Holiest weeks in the liturgical year of Catholic Church. On Holy Thursday evening we will celebrate as Jesus celebrated with his friends at the Last Supper, on Good Friday we will walk with Jesus on the road to Calvary and meditate on His sufferings and death on the cross. On Easter Sunday we will celebrate the Resurrection of Jesus and our sharing in His resurrection. Come and celebrate with us.

I appreciate your generosity to our parish family.
I wish you a blessed Easter.
