Jesus gently tries to prepare the disciples for the day when he will no longer be present to them in bodily form. Unlike us, who know the story, they did not know what was coming next, so they are confused. God helps us to grow even in times of confusion. Jesus is inviting his followers not to cling to his physical presence, but to be open to a deeper way of being in relationship with Him. Often, we find it hard to let go, and to embrace the new. But in clinging to the past, we are in danger of letting the present become dead to us. LITURGY OF THE WORD 1st READING ACTS 1: 1-11 (Christ’s Ascension) Christ is Divine! He will come again! Our faith affirms this for us. We live in the era of the Holy Spirit. RESPONSORIAL PSALM PS 47 (Praise to the Lord) “God mounts his throne to shouts of joy; a blare of trumpets for the Lord.”
2nd READING EPHESIANS 1: 17-23 (Glorification of Jesus) Our hope is in God. He is our strength. With Christ our head, we his people will receive the gift of wisdom & insight.
THE GOSPEL OF LUKE 24: 46-53 (The Ascension) Jesus prays for us-who believe in Him-that our faith will unite us to each other, to Him, and in Him to the Father. SCRIP SCRIP orders are due on the first weekend of every month. Order forms are located at the entrances.

Saint Patrick’s Pitch In for Father Santhosh In gratitude for Sacraments, blessings and Adoration that Father Santhosh has graced us with these last 4 years, we will have a pitch-in after Mass on June 8th. We will have chicken and sandwich makings. Please bring something to share. We will also have a table for cards and gifts. Most importantly, whether you bring food or gifts, please come to celebrate Father Santhosh with his parishioners! If you can't make it 6/8/25- the Knights of Columbus will have a catered celebration on 6/29 and all of American Martyrs and St Patrick parishioners are invited. Or come to both! A Bon Voyage party for Father Santhosh! Is scheduled for Sunday, June 29 at the Knights of Columbus Hall from 1-3 in the afternoon. For the past 4 years, we've been blessed to have Father in our lives and we're going to miss him dearly. Everyone from both parishes is invited to wish him well and to share a favorite story or two. Also, if you have any photos of Father that you'd like to submit, please drop them in the collection basket at church, the Parish Office, or give them to any Parish Council member.
