St. Patrick Catholic Church of White Lake is a Catholic faith community that celebrates Life in Christ. As we are nourished and led by the Holy Spirit, our common Baptismal mission is: to evangelize; to proclaim and to teach the Word of God; to praise and to worship God in Word and Sacrament; and to live His Word through loving service to ALL people. On this active faith journey, we are called to be disciples who affirm, heal and forgive in the love of Christ. We are glad that you are here on this journey with us!

Weekly Bulletin

Join us Tuesday, December 6th at 7:00pm, Bishop Arturo Cepeda, our Regional Bishop, will preside at the Liturgy of the Feast of Our Lady of Guadalupe. This annual special Mass has, over the years, become an important tradition for our St. Patrick Parish Faith Family. We ask that you please plan to be seated at 6:45pm for that evening as there will be a native procession with costumed Mexican dancers and drummers. 

This annual Liturgy, in honor of Mary, Mother of God, is for everyone; but we are extending a special invitation to all who come from a Mexican heritage. There will be prayers, hymns and Scriptural Readings in both Spanish and in English. As we honor Mary, Mother of God and Mother of the Church and pray together at this Eucharistic celebration here in the "Americas", please extend this invitation to others. Everyone is welcome!

We are pleased and grateful that Bishop Cepeda will be able to be with us for this Mass. I hope that you and your family will plan to be here and remain after Mass for the reception to follow in our parish hall. 

This year, we will not have a communal penance service this Advent. Instead of this, we have invited a number of priest confessors to be with us to celebrate the Sacrament of Penance with individual confession and absolution. This is scheduled for Wednesday, December 21st, from 7:00-8:30pm. We hope you and your family will plan to be with us. 

Confessions will also be scheduled on Saturday, December 10th and Saturday, December 17th from 10:30am-12:00pm. Please plan to come for your pre-Christmas confession at one of these times provided for your personal spiritual preparation for Christmas. 

For your planning, below are the Christmas confession schedules of our neighboring parishes:

St. Mary, Milford
December 12 from 5:00-6:00pm
