Pray the Divine Mercy Chaplet during LentAll are invited to stay and pray the Chaplet of Divine Mercy after Mass each weekend during Lent. In the Chaplet, we place all our trust in God’s merciful love. We pray for ourselves, our loved ones, the sick, the dying, and the whole world. The Chaplet is easy to learn and only takes only 10 minutes to recite. Handouts with the prayers can be found in the kneeler under The Divine Mercy image, which hangs next to the confessional. If you are willing to lead the prayers please see the Sign-up sheet on the round table in the Narthex."There is nothing more man needs than Divine Mercy – that love which is benevolent, which is compassionate, which raises man above his weakness to the infinite heights to the holiness of God."Pope John Paul II, Shrine of Divine Mercy, Cracow, Poland, 7 June 1997

Last year, five hundred and five pounds of food were donated to the parish food pantry during the Lenten season.

Monetary donations are also welcome. Contact Mark Middendorf at (573) 364-2011 for more information.

If you are interested in making a contribution, write a check to St. Patrick Home & School and include 'Angel Fund' on the comment line. Checks can be mailed to St. Patrick School (19 St. Patrick Ln, Rolla, MO 65401) or dropped off at the school or church office.

Garden Team CoordinatorNature provides a wondrous platform for experiencing a sense of God’s presence among us. Our parish desires to foster a thoughtful, beautiful, and peaceful atmosphere where all can encounter the beauty of our faith community even before they enter our doors. A volunteer group or individual is being sought to coordinate the overall care of the landscaped areas around the Church. The past program of “Adopt a Garden” is no longer in place. The Parish needs help to resurrect this program or start something new before the spring weather and the weeds begin to grow.Master Gardeners, landscapers, botanists, farmers, or any parishioners with a green thumb and an eye for beauty are asked to prayerfully consider this request. The coordinator will be asked to identify needs, coordinate work days and enlist other garden volunteers. Please contact the Parish Office if you have questions or are interested in volunteering for this important role.
