Greetings!   Welcome to our St. Patrick Parish web site.
     As you can see from our Mission Statement, we at Saint Patrick’s believe  that as God’s People we are called to “bring the transforming love of our Triune God to those around us.” 
     First and foremost this means that we are convinced that we are loved by God the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit.  We gratefully accept the gift of God’s love, knowing that this love is meant to be lived and shared until all the world is transformed and made a new creation in God’s redeeming and everlasting love.
     Here at Saint Patrick Catholic faith community, we celebrate and share that love in so many ways:  Most important, of course, is the celebration of the Eucharist. People of every age, race, color,background, economic status, and language gather for Mass every weekend in English and Spanish, and twice a month in Portuguese.   We recognize that this rich diversity of people who gather for the Eucharist is a God-given gift and a foretaste of God's plan that all peoples be gathered together as one.
   United in God’s love and strengthened and sent forth by the power of the Eucharist, we reach out to all those in the Norristown area.  Our ministries and services include Faith Formation classes for children and adults, Youth Group, Disciples in Mission Bible Study groups for adults, English as Second Language classes for our recently arrived brothers and sisters from Mexico and other places, Parish Nursing Program, visits to the sick at Montgomery Hospital and area nursing homes, Ministry of Consolation and Circulo de Oracion.  We also work closely with many agencies in the Norristown area to offer a variety of educational and informational opportunities to all those in need.
     Throughout the year we celebrate our  diversity with various events like the Irish Festival, the Mexican Independence Day celebration and Soul Food Sunday.  We all come together to make our Christmas Bazaar a big success and for the Parish Feast Day we share an international meal.
     On behalf of all of our parishioners I invite you to take a closer look at our web-site.  In fact, I encourage you to come visit us, celebrate Eucharist with us, experience the warmth of God’s love that permeates our parish family.  Become a member yourself.  Come to know God’s unconditional love for you and for all as revealed to us in Jesus Christ. And come join us in our mission of making that love known to all around.
     Peace,
     Fr. William Murphy
