Seniors' Corner

We at Saint Patrick’s have plans to form a seniors’ group. The circumstances we now find ourselves in have changed how we may approach this in the short term.  The group would be open to anyone fifty-five (55) years of age and older. Our goal is to stay connected and create a community where we can share in our thoughts, feelings and experiences when having some fun and learning about important aspects of our lives that are real today.

With my brother Knights, I welcomed with joy the announcement that the founder of the Order, Father Michael McGivney, is to be beatified in the Archdiocese of Hartford (Connecticut) on October 31.  The Knights of Columbus are planning a webcast through their network.  “The initial work on his sainthood cause began in 1982 on the Knights' centenary. His cause was formally opened in Hartford in 1997, and he was given the title "Servant of God."  In March 2008, the Catholic Church recognized the priest heroically lived the Christian virtues, so he was given the title "venerable."     Father Kevin
