Please note our fundraising total for July 2016 to July 2017 has been reached, and the main page now shows a reset of zero for our next fundraising year of July 2017 to July 2018. A tremendous thank-you for your continued support. Please continue to remember us in your prayers.

See you all this Sunday at the Mass at 11:30. Our new parish priest is Fr. Joe MacKenzie and we are so excited for him to be joining us. Do you know friends and family who can’t make it to the mass? Let them know to join the community for a lovely luncheon at Riverdale Community Center from 1:00 o’clock onward. We can’t wait to see all the children and youth of the parish!

 

A heartfelt thank-you to Paul and Gloria McNamara for donating glass for the window repair and for Shaun McNamara and Francis White for repairing several windows this month. You are such thoughtful people!

Thanks also to Michelle Hayes who once again is going to donate one of her beautiful cakes for the luncheon. It is always the highlight of the luncheon table!

Thank-you to Fr. Callistus for celebrating the Mass, and to all those who served as participants:

Elizabeth McNamara, Terry McNamara, Wayne McNamara, and the choir members;

Barbara Malcolm for organziation and preparation of the liturgy program; and

John Kennedy, Jackie White, Monica McCarthy, RoseAnn Proctor, Dennis Felix, Francis White, Paula Chisholm, Carol McNamara, and Billy Proctor for liturgical ministries.

A special thanks also is extended to Richard Cook who arranged for the purchase of the new organ, and to Dale Scanlan who assembled the stand, and set up the new organ in the church.

Again, a wonderful thanks to all those who were able to attend.

Please come join us for this celebration of our Patron Saint.

Also Mark Your Calendars:

Annual Summer Family Mass will be held on Sunday July 16th, 2017 at St. Patrick’s Church Whiteside. This Mass will be a special remembrance of all our dearly departed loved ones. A blessing of St. Patrick’s Cemetery will take place immediately following the mass. Free luncheon will follow. Everyone welcome for a wonderful day of fellowship.
