QUOTE OF THE WEEK:
“The Basilica of Saint John Lateran is the ‘Mother
Church’ of all the Catholic churches of the world and
the cathedral of the Diocese of Rome [the pope is pope
because he is the bishop of Rome]. We commemorate
its dedication as a way of honoring all the consecrated
churches of the world, including our own. But we must
heed the words of Saint Paul [in today’s 2nd reading],
‘You are God’s building,’ and today remember that by
our baptism each of us consecrated to God’s service.”

My Dear Parishioners:
This weekend is my community retreat at Mt. Alvernia in Wappinger Falls New York. We are fortunate
to have a friar who is a Franciscan scholar who will
be the retreat master. Please pray for me and all
the brothers as we do for you and for St. Patrick’s.
By now, it is certain that you have heard the news
that, our pastor, Father James Kane is retiring as of
February 1st. Please pray for him with gratitude to
almighty God for his many years of service to the
Albany Diocese as pastor in various places, including
St. Patrick’s. Father will be continuing as EcuPRAYER OF THE WEEK:
