Save the date! We will hold two information meetings for those interested in our annual trips to Appalachia to help those in need with home repairs this summer. Confirmed teens, teens that will be confirmed this spring, and adults are invited to join us when we travel to Appalachia. The Appalachia Help Weeks began after the floods that foraged the area many years ago. This will be the 40th year that members of the St. Patrick Parish community will be traveling to help those in need. To learn more, please attend one of the meetings on February 10 or February 24 at 7pm in the Parish Center.

You may have noticed a beautiful change to our sanctuary recently. We are blessed to have a new tabernacle on our main altar, providing a dignified and lovely home for the Blessed Sacrament. This addition is a generous gift from Fr. Owen and his community for this sign of friendship and for such a meaningful contribution to our worship space. While this tabernacle serves us beautifully for now, we will continue to evaluate the long-term liturgical needs of our church to ensure our sanctuary remains a fitting place for prayer and sacrifice. In the meantime, our original tabernacle will be carefully refinished and restored; we look forward to it being resurrected in the future within a chapel elsewhere on our campus. We are forever grateful for this gift and for the spirit of community that brought it to Saint Patrick.

As you have seen in our church, we have new stands and candle displays. For a small donation, you can light a candle for the intention of a loved one.

Due to the impending snowstorm, Masses will be held at 4pm and 5pm in the church on Saturday ONLY. The church will then close until Tuesday morning, January 27. The 5pm Mass on Saturday will be livestreamed. Please be safe during the storm.

Join our school as they host a Faith and Community Service Fair on Saturday, January 24, 2026 from 9:00am until 10:30am in the Parish Center. All are invited. No entrance fee.

Deacon Mark resumes his series of Breaking Open the Word on Sunday mornings starting this Sunday, January 11. This program allows us to "break open" and explore the Word of God proclaimed each week in the Sunday liturgy, diving a little deeper into the Gospel for a better understanding of the Word. Meets in the Parish Office Building after the 9:30am mass.

Our One-Bag-a-Month food collection is this weekend, January 10 & 11. Donations can be left in the priests' garage and benefit those in need locally. This program is held monthly at the United Methodist Church in Chatham. Thank you for your generosity!

Fr. Peter invites you to join us on a pilgrimage to St. John Paul II’s beloved homeland, Poland. On this journey, we follow in the footsteps of three great Polish saints – St. John Paul, St. Maximilian Kolbe and St. Faustina, the Apostle of Divine Mercy – as we embrace the culture of the Polish people. We entrust our pilgrims and journeys to the maternal protection of Our Lady of Czestochowa.  

THIS weekend, January 3 & 4 is our monthly Forget-Me-Not food collection weekend! Please drop your non-perishable food donations in the priests’ garage. Donations to our food pantries have dropped dramatically over the past few months as food prices continue to rise and need for donations continue to increase. Please be as generous as you can. Donations all stay within the Diocese of Paterson, specifically for the Father English Center who will distribute the items to families and individuals in need. Thank you for your continued support of our food pantries and helping our brothers and sisters in need.
