It is a great work of mercy to pray for the dead, so you are invited to pray for one of our parishioners who has recently died - please see the details below if you wish to attend her funeral, and check out the attached 'Prayer for the Deceased' if you wish to pray for her in your own private prayer.

Maria Strmecki, aged 87, member of our parish (and, prior to the merger, of Holy Redeemer) entered eternal life on Monday, August 28th.  Visitation will be held at St Patrick Church this Friday, September 1st, from 9:30 am until the Mass, which begins at 10:30. 

Some parishioners may also know Maria's son, Rev. Fr. Ivan Strmecki, O.F.M.  He belonged to St Patrick in the mid-90s, when he discerned his vocation during the pastorate of Fr Raymond Maier.  Maria was a lovely person and exemplary in her faith.  

May her soul and the souls of all the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace.
