SAINT PATRICK CATHOLIC CHURCH

ROCHELLE, ILLINOIS

 What is Happening these days at Saint Patrick Church!​


Fr. Dominguez’s Sabbatical & Things To Be Aware Of.
During September, October and November, the parish schedule will be adjusted: A couple of weekends ago, I wrote in this column about my sabbatical and my leaving for sabbatical around the beginning of September. Be-cause of this, we will be losing three masses during the week. This means that there will be no mass on Tuesday, Friday and Saturday mornings.
As of September 1, The new Mass schedule will be:
Monday: Mass at 8:00am
Tuesday: there will be No Mass
Wednesday: Mass at 8:00am Mass in Spanish at 6:30pm 
Thursday: Mass at 8:00am
Friday: there will be No Mass
Saturday: there will be No 8:00 am Mass, but there will be Word-Communion celebration.
Confessions:4:00pm
5:00pm Mass
7:00pm Mass in Spanish.
Sunday Masses: 7:30 AM
Mass 9:00 AM
Mass 11:00 AM in Spanish
Confession: Schedule will be only Saturdays at 4:00pm.
Funerals: The parish office has a list of priests who might be available for funerals; please be patient while Father is on sabbatical. Anointing: Hospitals have chaplains (Catholic priests) available for anointing in Rockford. In case of an emer-gency in town, the parish office will find a priest from a nearby parish.
May we all continue to pray for an increase in priestly vocations. 

Sobre El sabático de P. Domínguez y cosas a tener en cuenta.
Durante septiembre, octubre y noviembre, el horario de la parroquia se ajustará: hace un par de fines de semana, escribí en esta columna sobre mi año sabático y mi partida para el año sabático a principios de septiembre. Por eso, estaremos perdiendo tres misas durante la semana. Esto significa que no habrá misa los martes, viernes y sábados por la mañana.
En la formulación de un nuevo horario que entrará en vigor el primer día de septiembre.
El nuevo horario de misas será
Lunes: Misa a las 8:00 am
Martes: no habrá misa
Miércoles: Misa a las 8:00 am
Misa en español a las 6:30 pm
Jueves: Misa a las 8:00 am
Viernes: no habrá misa
Sábado: no habrá Misa de las 8:00 am, pero habrá cele-bración de la Palabra-Comunión.
Confesiones: 4:00 pm
5:00 pm Misa
7:00 pm Misa en español.
Misas dominicales:
7:30 AM Misa
9:00 AM Misa
11:00 AM en español
Confesión: el horario será solo los sábados a las 4:00 pm
Funerales: La oficina parroquial tiene una lista de sacer-dotes que podrían estar disponibles para los funerales; tenga paciencia mientras el padre está de año sabático.
Unción: Los hospitales tienen capellanes (sacerdotes ca-tólicos) disponibles para ungir en Rockford. La oficina pa-rroquial hará todo lo posible para buscar un sacerdote en caso de emergencia aquí en el pueblo.
Que todos sigamos orando por un aumento de las vocaciones sacerdotales.

​Welcome to St. Patrick Parish!

As the new pastor of St. Patrick Parish, I am excited and grateful to be welcoming you to our website.  I know of no better faith community within which to pray, deepen, and live our faith.  I hope you find our presence on the Internet as warm and inviting as our Eucharistic-centered parish family.

We are a diverse parish and always eager to see new faces. Please browse around this website to learn about our Mass Schedule for the upcoming week, parish events, and information that you might need.

St. Patrick Parish is a community of people who believe in being Church in its beautiful diversity – traditional to contemporary, of all ages, backgrounds, and experiences.

We seek to live vibrant lives informed by the gospel of Jesus and fed by the Eucharist.  We believe that Christ embraces us in each moment, no matter what. 

We pray, with spirited Eucharistic celebrations at the center of our shared faith life. We learn through our commitment to life-long faith formation.  We serve as our prayer and learning direct us to live our faith in our relationships with family and friends, and through parish ministries and community outreach.

We hope that you will find our  website informative, our parish celebrations inspiring,  and our community  welcoming. 

We hope you will be fed in Word & Sacrament during our weekend liturgies and you will want to be a part of our community,  whether for a weekend or a lifetime, and share our spiritual, social and service experiences.  Please explore these possibilities both in person and through our website.

Thank you for your interest in St. Patrick Parish!  I look forward to your visit to St. Patrick and, perhaps, your decision to continue your journey of faith with us.

Peace,
