We are so excited to invite you to our Annual Garage Sale!
We have stockpiled a huge amount of housewares, toys, sporting goods, tools, flooring and tons more from our generous donors, Costco and Shoppers, over the past year.
Look for a special section of New-in-Box light fixtures donated to this event by Abby Lights.
Proceeds from the sale will go directly back to supporting Parish Events, Ministries, and the Parish maintenance and upkeep.
See you in our Parish School Gymnasium on Saturday, September 5th from 6:30pm to 7:30pm, and again on Sunday, September 6th from 10:00am to 1:30pm.
I would like to take a moment to sincerely thank the parishioners of St. Patrick’s Parish for the incredible support, prayers, and generosity you have shown me as I prepare to attend St. Therese Institute of Faith and Mission.
When I first shared my story with the parish, I knew I was taking a step of faith, but I never could have imagined how generously this community would respond. Your donations have helped make this opportunity financially possible, but even more than that, your prayers, encouragement, and kind words have reminded me that I am not walking into this new chapter alone.
As I begin this nine-month journey of formation, discernment, and growth, I ask that you please continue to keep me in your prayers. I will carry the prayers and support of St. Patrick’s Parish with me to St. Therese and hope to return with a heart even more ready to serve God and His Church.
Thank you for believing in me and, most importantly, for helping me say yes to where God is calling me.
With heartfelt gratitude and prayers,
Sarah Powell
