St. Patrick Catholic Church

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!
 

Join us for our 6th annual Parish Family Picnic on August 21st at 1:30pm. Our Knights of Columbus Council #13319, is generously hosting this event and all are welcome for an afternoon of food, fun, fellowship, live music and more. We hope to see you there!

Please sign up below or pick up a tag in the vestibule, by the church doors and near Paddy Hall and help us make sure all children in our community have what they need for a successful school year! Please contact Bonnie Degen at bdegen@stpwl.org for additional information or questions. Thank you for your generosity!
