They are called to grow as disciples of Jesus Christ by actively embracing the Baptismal commitment. They gather around the table of the Word and Eucharist to be nourished and strengthened as a family of faith, and then they are sent forth to put our prayer into action. St Patrick’s Church strives to live out of a missionary spirit that focuses our ministry on the poor and marginalized in our midst. They share the faith through hospitality and fellowship, actively embracing the call to compassion by loving others as Christ loves all.
