A Letter from Our Pastor - March 29, 2020

Dear St. Patrick Parishioners,

The closing of parishes and the cancelation of liturgies within our Youngstown Diocese and throughout the US is a dramatic move, one that is especially heartbreaking since it disrupts our Lenten journey toward Holy Week and the Easter Triduum. During times of crisis, we lean more heavily on our Catholic Faith and Church; to have that taken away when we need it most is a bitter irony.

But Christians are nothing if not persevering. With 2,000 years of history behind us, we can recall many times and places where the followers of Jesus have endured persecution and trouble. In today’s crisis, people of faith are already showing great resilience. Together, we will get through this, encouraging one another in the faith, helping the most vulnerable, and spreading the Gospel through prayer and actions within our individual circles.

While public Masses are canceled, it remains imperative for the Catholic family of St. Patrick to pray, worship and commune with God and one another—from home.

Palm Sunday

Father Pentello will bless the palms privately and will then pass them out on Saturday, April 4 @ 3:00-4:00 and Sunday, April 5 @ 11:00-12:00 noon. You are invited to drive to the back parking lot of the church and will not have to get out of your car.

Article - Priests Without People

Dear St. Patrick Parishioners, I share the following article with you because it speaks of my heart and perhaps gives you a different perspective – the perspective of a priest, as we all do our best to get through these Lenten days of sacrifice. Like you my heart aches, and I also long to be with you, and I pray for that day to come “sooner” rather than “later” when we can be together again in worship as the faith-family of St. Patrick. Until then, my love and prayers are with you – always!

Holy Virgin of Guadalupe, Queen of the Angels and Mother of the Americas. We fly to you today as your beloved children. We ask you to intercede for us with your Son, as you did at the wedding in Cana. Pray for us, loving Mother, and gain for our nation and world, and for all our families and loved ones, the protection of your holy angels, that we may be spared the worst of this illness.

Help us to bring the peace of Jesus to our land and to our hearts. We come to you with confidence, knowing that you truly are our compassionate mother, health of the sick and cause of our joy. Shelter us under the mantle of your protection, keep us in the embrace of your arms, help us always to know the love of your Son, Jesus. Amen.
