Christmas and New Year's Masses
Because it is not possible to host all of those who have requested to attend Christmas Eve and Christmas morning liturgies, we have decided to make all of these liturgies Livestream ONLY, with no in-person attendance. Please click here to check out Fr. Tom Hurley's video message.

Two Advent Prayer Experiences
Approaching a God of Mercy: A Guided Examination of Conscience
While we are not able to host a Reconciliation Service with the opportunity for individual confession this year due to safety measures, some Old St. Pat's voices guide us through an Examination of Conscience that can help us prepare to approach our God in our desire to acknowledge our failings and grow in compassion and love.
