Welcome to St. Patrick’s Church!
Prayer of Hospitality
Lord Jesus, you welcomed all who came into your presence. May we reflect that same spirit through the gift of hospitality. As we greet people today, may they hear your
voice in our words; as we meet them, may we recognize your presence within them; and as we create a place for one another at the
Eucharistic table, may we discover the joy of serving you in others. Amen

Catholic Home Missions
Many dioceses right here in the United States do not have enough priests and trained lay
ministers to serve their parishes. These dioceses are known as Home Missions. The
Catholic Home Missions Appeal will take place this weekend in the second collection, and
supports these dioceses by funding essential ministries, including seminary education and
lay minister training. Please be generous in this appeal and share your resources to
strengthen the Church at Home.
Dear Friends
Dear Friends, Five summers ago, I had the joy of being assigned to
St. Margaret Mary’s and St. Patrick’s for the summer. I learned a lot that summer–
and I have many fond memories of those days. It is hard to believe that soon I will
become a priest! I will be ordained on Saturday, June 6, at 10 am at Ss. Peter & Paul
Cathedral in Indianapolis. My Mass of Thanksgiving (“First Mass”) will be at my home
parish, St. Charles Borromeo in Bloomington at 4 pm the same day. A reception will
follow at the parish. Pleas know that you are more than welcome to attend any of these
events, but we need an RSVP by May 1 at stcharlesbloomington.org/rsvp if you are
interested. Thanks so much and I hope to see you soon!
Peace and prayers, Dcn. Mike Keucher
Deacon’s Corner
Secure in God’s hands
Did you know that the space shuttle re-enters Earth’s atmosphere going
25 times the speed of sound? Friction from the wind resistance raises the outside
temperature to 3000 degrees. To keep the space shuttle from burning up, 34,000
separate tiles protect the ships underbelly. These tiles help secure the space shuttle’s
safe return.
In this world of death and decay, nothing is truly secure. Yet scripture
tells us of a life secure in God’s hands. Christ came to this world as our Messiah, the
great High Priest, whose duty required His own sacrificial death for our sins. His
resurrection guarantees eternal redemption for all who confess their sins and believe
in Him.
The loss of health, relationships, and finances can make us feel as if our
life has been ruined. But for the Christian, nothing can be further from the truth.
Through our spiritual union with Christ, nothing can shake those who are secure in
God’s hands.
Together through prayer and service,
Deacon Mike
Bulletin Guidelines
All submissions for the bulletin must be sent to Malia Mohan by Wednesday at
noon of the week requested, and information must be approved by a staff member. If requesting a flier to be

and longer than a paragraph.
There is a new limit of 3 fliers per week.
Commitment Cards– Time, Talent, Treasure
Thanks to all parishioners who returned their St. Patrick Parish Commitment card and Archdiocesan Intention card. If you have not yet returned your cards there is still time to do so.
You may drop them in the collection basket or return them by mail to the parish office. If
you need Commitment or Intention cards there are some at each entrance to the church or
you may call the parish office @ 232.8518 and one will be sent to you. Your commitments
help us to carry out the mission of St. Patrick Parish and make it possible for our parish to
minister to the needs of our own parish family as well as the needs of the wider community
and the Archdiocese. Thank you! The Stewardship Committee
Faith Formation

adults are encouraged to register to volunteer. Go to http://thcatholicvbs.weebly.com/ to print off a copy of the form, or grab a form at the
doors of the church or at the office.
For craft projects, we are in need of empty cardboard toilet paper rolls. For decorations, we are looking for African art, stuffed animals, or
anything that would look like it belongs in the Serengeti. Please bring any of these items to the parish office. Place your name on the decorations so we can get them back to you.
CATHOLIC CHARITIES
The five Indiana bishops have issued a pastoral letter on poverty. The overall goal is to bring awareness to the suffering that is experienced
by our fellow Hoosiers and motivate us all to take further responsibility for helping to relieve some of this suffering. Please take the time to
read the letter and to respond to the survey that will be used to develop a pastoral plan to reduce poverty in Indiana– www.archindy.org

Soup Kitchen
Gal 2:20b
“The life I live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God,
who loved me and gave himself for me.”
Our life of faith is lived in the body God gave us. That
seems obvious, but when there is a challenge to the food
and sustenance for your body, it can challenge your walk
of faith as well. In the Soup Kitchen, we have the privilege
to let the food that is given freely flow through our lives,
to meet the needs of friends in our community. And God
opens an opportunity for faith to flow into their lives and
meet needs we may not realize are there. For all who give
to the Soup Kitchen, and to those who pray for the prayer
cards left in the Adoration Chapel, we give a special
thanks during this Easter Season.
Needs for April
Canned vegetables of all kinds
Canned Red Beans or chili beans
Instant meals like Ramen noodles, soup, or macaroni
and cheese for emergency bags
Ziploc Sandwich bags
Adoration Chapel

HOSPITAL VISITATION
WHEN BEING ADMITTED to
the hospital, Catholic patients
need to inform the admitting staff
of their religious affiliation and if a
visit from the parish is desired.
Due to federal regulations, if patients do not inform the admitting
staff, the church will not know of
their hospital stay.
Patients can always call the
church directly if a visit is desired
or sacrament of the sick is needed.
Religious affiliation information is not normally obtained
from patients who enter the hospital through the emergency room.
Always feel free to call us if you
are in the hospital or are planning
a hospital stay.
