Parish Organizations
All baptized Catholics are called to a life of radical Christian discipleship in which we love the Lord above all things and love our neighbors as ourselves (Matthew 22:37-40).
St. Patrick Parish offers a multitude of opportunities to serve Christ, his Church, and our neighbors in need. Listed below are some of the many ministries, apostolates and organizations at St. Patrick's.
