Beginning March 8, we will individually pray a novena to our patron saint, Saint Patrick, for 9 days asking for the ongoing growth of our parish community, the conversion of sinners, the wisdom in how to become better Catholic Christians and for our parish and school in addition to our own personal intentions. We will email the prayer daily to our parishioners and there are paper copies available in the Church for you to pick up and bring home. If you did not receive the email, please reach out to the parish office. Please remember not to unsubscribe to the emails, please delete them; otherwise, you will be removed from receiving parish wide emails in the future including weekly newsletters.

Celebrate the Sacrament of Reconciliation as we journey through the Season of Lent. During this liturgical season, Saint Patrick Parish will offer private reconciliation as part of our Diocesan Welcome Home to Healing initiative on Monday evenings from 7:00 pm - 8:30 pm. All parishes within the Diocese of Paterson will offer Welcome Home to Healing on Monday evenings. No appointments are necessary. In addition to Monday evenings, St. Patrick Parish will offer reconciliation on Saturday afternoons from 4 pm – 4:30 pm in the church. The Sacrament of Reconciliation frees us from our sins and challenges us to have the same kind of compassion and forgiveness towards others that God, our Father, shows us.
