Tuesday of the Second Week of Easter
First...
A message from one of our parishioners...
Eagle Scout Project Fundraiser
My name is Michael Kearney and I am a parishioner and altar server at St. Patrick’s. I am currently a Life Scout with Troop 440 and am working toward my Eagle rank. For my Eagle project I will be building a new outdoor prayer garden and Stations of the Cross at St. Patrick’s in the upcoming weeks. I will be at the masses for the next few weeks, should you have any questions. I am excited to be working on this prayer garden and I thank you for your support and generosity.

Daily Mass
An Act of Spiritual Communion
My Jesus,
I believe that You are present
in the Most Holy Sacrament.
I love You above all things,
and I desire to receive You
into my soul.
Since I cannot at this moment
receive You sacramentally,
come at least into my heart.
I embrace You
as if You were already there
and unite myself wholly to You.
Never permit me
to be separated from You.
Amen.
Prayer to St. Michael the Archangel
St. Michael the Archangel,
defend us in battle.
Be our defense
against the wickedness
and snares of the Devil.
May God rebuke him,
we humbly pray,
and do thou,
o Prince of the heavenly hosts,
by the power of God,
thrust into hell Satan
and all the evil spirits
who prowl about the world
seeking the ruin of souls.
Amen.
Fr. Joe's Homily
Friendship and Evangelization
One Heart and Mind
As an Easter people united by the Holy Spirit, the disciples became "of one heart and mind" (Acts 4:32). A deep, abiding unity developed among them. In other words, the disciples truly became friends, in the fullest sense of the word. These friendships then both fueled their desire to spread the Good News and attracted others to their community. With this in mind, let us strive to bring the Lord into our friendships today.
Today's Action Item: Resolve to be a better friend.
