"Whoever exalts himself will be humbled; but whoever humbles himself will be exalted.”The world celebrates people in the spotlight and those who have the most of everything. We think celebrity, money and possessions are the key to happiness. Yet, our world is filled with more loneliness, anxiety and depression more than ever before. The key to a happy life is relationship. Relationship with God and each other. Trust is the foundation of any good relationship and humility is the seed of trust.UpdatesWelcome to our Pastorate!

Consider becoming a Sacristan! Sacristans assist with preparing the vessels for Mass and ensuring that they are properly stored after Mass. We are looking to add Sacristans at each church for all Masses. Michael Mills will conduct Sacristan training at IHM after 10:30am Mass on Nov. 5, at STP after 4pm Mass on Nov. 11 and at CTK after 5pm Mass on Nov. 11.
New Pipe Organ for St. Patrick!
The Pastorate will celebrate this new instrument at 9am Mass on Nov. 12 when the organ will be blessed through an ancient blessing for pipe organs. Michael Mills will give tours of the new organ after Mass on 11/12 and around the potluck on Wednesday 11/8. Please be advised that St. Patrick Church may be closed periodically during installation of the organ to allow the moving team space to work and quiet for tuning.
CTK Patronal Feast Day
The three patronal feast days of each of our churches will be commemorated with extra festivity this coming year. The first feast day is 11/26 the Feast of Christ the King. On 11/26 all of our choirs and musicians will focus their efforts at the 9am Mass at CTK. The other Masses that weekend will be Low Masses and some music will be provided where possible.
Note about MusicDuring the month of November there have been/will be multiple Masses where music may be different than normal or not occur at all. Andrea and Michael regret when this happens but when special Masses occur and both directors are needed at the same Mass, there will not always be substitutes available. This is why our pastorate offers free organ lessons to any tithing parishioner/family, youth or adult. If you have piano experience and would like to learn to play the organ, please reach out to [email protected]Hospital Visits
If an individual is hospitalized and would like for a priest to visit, please call the parish office to arrange a visit.Sign Up!Overnight Adoration - Nov. 29 & 30
