THE MASS IS THE GREATEST FORM OF CHRISTIAN CHARITY...
To schedule a Mass for someone living or deceased, please fill out the Mass Form envelope found in the vestibule of the church and deliver it to the rectory office, or place it in the collection basket. Completion of the Mass Form envelope will ensure proper recording of dates, names, etc. Alternately, you can download this form and fill it out and return it to the rectory.

SANCTUARY CANDLES
If you are interested in donating the Living Flame of The Sanctuary Light, please contact the rectory office. By donating $25 for a week or $100 for the month, your name or intention will be placed in the bulletin.

ALTAR FLOWERS
If you would like to commemorate a special event, anniversary or the memory of a loved one by making a donation for the altar flowers, please contact Jessie at the rectory office: 525-4413.

PARKING
There is plenty of street parking around St. Patrick's. Be sure to check your meter to see if you need to pay while you're here. Also, on Saturday and Sunday, many of the loading zones do not apply. Please pay attention to the signs.

There is no longer free parking in the adjacent lot on Camp Street. However, Premium Parking Services has graciously compromised to allow us a reduced rate of TWO DOLLARS during the hours of weekend Masses. As of August 27, 2011:

Saturday evening Masses
4:00 p.m. (20 minutes before and 20 minutes after).
5:30 p.m. (20 minutes before and 20 minutes after).

Sunday Masses
8:00 a.m. (20 minutes before and 20 minutes after).
9:30 a.m. (20 minutes before and 20 minutes after).
11:00 a.m. (20 minutes before and 20 minutes after).
5:30 p.m. (20 minutes before and 10 minutes after).

WHAT THIS MEANS: You can get to church 20 minutes early for Mass and get the $2 rate. If you get there BEFORE 20 minutes early, then you must pay the full rate. And, you must leave within 20 minutes after Mass (or 10 minutes, in the case of Sunday at 5:30pm).

CLARION HERALD MAILING
Many parishioners have inquired about not receiving direct home mailing of the Clarion Herald. The Archdiocese has not resumed the direct home mailing of its newspaper but copies are sent to the church and placed in the vestibule for the taking. Also, the latest edition of the Clarion Herald, along with many of the back issues, can be read online at: http://www.clarionherald.org/.
