St. Patrick Church - Bridge Avenue

THANK YOU FOR HELPING US BRING THE GOOD NEWS!

Thanks to your support, we were able to raise nearly $10,000 to update our historic Club Building.  We can't wait to get started in 2024 to make a difference for those we serve!  God bless you!

Our parish mission statement calls for us to “bring good news” (Luke 4:18, 19).  

We bring good news to the poor and marginalized in our neighborhood when we serve hot meals and provide groceries through our food pantry program.

We bring good news to the children in our PSR program and adults in RCIA by teaching them the faith and the joy of God’s love for them.  

We bring good news by providing opportunities for fellowship and community-building among our parishioners through celebrations and joyous occasions that commemorate important milestones in our parish history.

As we celebrate our 170th anniversary, we pay homage to our roots and the historical significance of our campus, not just our beautiful church but our Club Building, built in 1903 to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the founding of St. Patrick Parish and originally called the Catholic Club House.  It housed a library, reception area, billiard room, bowling alley and gymnasium.  These spaces have been repurposed as the parish has transitioned over the decades and we continue to recognize the ever-changing needs of the people we serve.

Help us bring good news through this year’s We Give Catholic campaign.  We will raise funds to enhance our Club spaces to better serve our community – the people who come to us for food and fellowship, the children who participate in our PSR programs, and the parishioners who join together to celebrate our oneness as a parish of believers.

HOW YOU CAN HELP

New this year, you will be able to make an online gift beginning one week early!  Beginning on Monday, November 20th, you can donate to our We Give Catholic campaign by using the Donate button on this page.  Your early gift will help us kick off our campaign and build momentum for reaching our goal of $20,000.

Please show your support of our mission of bringing the good news to our parish and our neighborhood.  

THANK YOU!Thanks to your support of our We Give Catholic campaign these last two years, we were able to purchase a 12-passenger van, which will allow us to provide services to the ministries of our parish.  God bless you for your generosity in helping us cross the finish line!
