At St. Patrick, we believe every member of our parish has something to offer toward the Mission of the Church and therefore encourage all our members to serve in ministry. As members of this Body, we truly are His hands, His feet, and His eyes in our world. To be a Christian is to be committed to action and living out our faith through service to one another. We are the Church, we are the Body of Christ; not to be served, but to serve.

Read through the various ministries below and discern which one is right for you. Click on the title of the ministry for more details, including contact information. If you feel the call to serve or would like to facilitate a new ministry (class, bible study, group, etc), please contact Cyndi Barclay • 636-332-9225 ext. 234 • cyndi@stpatsch.org. Thank you for considering joining a ministry at St. Patrick!

Liturgy and Worship

We want to rejuvenate the deep, spiritual meaning of being a participant in Mass. As St. Augustine said, “Behold what you are. Become who you receive.” Every time we celebrate the Sacred Banquet together, we are fulfilling Jesus’ command to “Do this in memory of Me.” We believe that the Risen Christ is truly present in the Liturgy in the Presider; in the Holy Eucharist as His real presence of Body and Blood; in the Word proclaimed from the Sacred Scriptures, and in the Community gathered in His Name.

CLICK HERE to sign up for Extraordinary Minister of Holy Communion, Lector, Usher, and Greeter. All training is provided and each Ministry has a rotating schedule of service. The more people we have involved, the fewer times any one person has to serve and the richer our Liturgies will be as each person brings their special gifts to the Altar.

“Today is all we have, if we wait for another time or a better time to show our gratitude to God, we will spend our lives waiting. Now is when we must act. Tomorrow we can thank God for the blessings He gives us tomorrow. Today we must thank Him for all that He is giving us now.”
