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!

As disciples of the Lord Jesus, through our baptismal invitation, we are all called to bring the Gospel of Joy to those who are in need of compassion, mercy, and God’s Love.

Our CSA contributions help us to be signs of God’s mercy and give the op- portunity to bring joy to others through personal evangelization and sharing of the Good News. My prayer this week is that all our parishioners will consider offering some gift to the CSA. If for some reason, however, you are unable to help at this time would you please join with us in praying for the success of the CSA.

This is the 39th year for the CSA. In my recent letter, I asked that every registered family unit consider a total of $250 for the annual pledge. However, we certainly appreciate whatever you are able to do to help us reach our assigned Archdiocesan goal.

Let us pray together, as the St. Patrick Parish Faith Family, that we will have a successful 2021 Catholic Services Appeal. Through your personal support, in accordance with Archbishop Vigneron’s request that we all participate, can we count on you to join with us to “Fuel the Mission”!?

May the Lord richly bless you for your willingness to help as we together support this year’s CSA campaign.
