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 inserted, the information should not be repeated in the bulletin, and longer than a paragraph. There is a new limit of 3 fliers per week.

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 BAPTISM CLASS: Our next class is scheduled for May 31, 2015 from 10-12 pm in the rectory. Please call the Parish office to register 232-8518.

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 Please check the updated chapel schedule!
