Ministries

Nothing compares to hearing a group of men singing together at Mass, except perhaps the joy of  the men who get to do the singing. Be one of those men!
We invite all men to join our new vocal ensemble, The King's Men, which will serve at only one Mass per month - at 7:30 am, every third Sunday of the month. Rehearsal is at 7:00 pm in the church on the (2nd) Friday before 8:00 pm Compline. This time commitment is small but the reward to your soul extraordinary, because "he who sings prays twice." 
Give it a try, starting this coming Friday evening, September 9. Try out just how easy it is to sing as a group from inside the organ balcony; it truly reduces any feelings of self-consciousness, and the acoustic makes the sound sublime. No music reading is necessary, just the willingness to sing the hymns, Gloria, and other service music as you feel comfortable doing it.
And ... a home cooked, hot and hearty breakfast will be served in the parish hall for everyone, following each King's Men Mass. 
From the time of the Apostles to the Confessors and the Irish Bards, singing was the solace of warriors. Time to "man up." at St Patrick!  We sing for Christ, with the strength of the angels; This sacrifice of praise is manhood in leadership, especially as a role model to the children, and encouragement to all who listen.
