Celebration of The Solemnity of St. Patrick
On Ash Wednesday, God has called His Church to enter the beautiful season of Lent. Vatican II with its Constitution on the Sacred Liturgy, Sacrosanctum Concilium, teaches that this season is meant to celebrate the paschal mystery by recalling or preparing for baptism and by penance (cf. SC, n. 109). And, when different solemnities are properly celebrated during this season, they do not deter us from living a holy season of Lent and preparing ourselves to celebrate Easter, “the greatest and the most noble of all solemnities” (The Easter Vigil in the Holy Night, Roman Missal, n. 1). The Feast of Saint Patrick is celebrated as a Solemnity in the Archdiocese of San Francisco, as he is a Patron of the diocese. Since March 17, 2024 is the Fifth Sunday of Lent, no other Solemnities may be observed. This is in conformity with the Universal Norms on the Liturgical Year and the Calendar, which teach the following: “Because of its special importance, the celebration of Sunday gives way only to Solemnities and Feasts of the Lord; indeed, the Sundays of Advent, Lent and Easter have precedence over all Feasts of the Lord and over all Solemnities. In fact, Solemnities occurring on these Sunday are transferred to the following Monday unless they occur on Palm Sunday or on Sunday of the Lord’s Resurrection” (n. 5). Nevertheless, it is important that the Feast of Saint Patrick, a most beloved solemnity with deep historical roots in our Archdiocese, be observed in our Archdiocese. Therefore, for the Feast of Saint Patrick: • The Solemnity of Saint Patrick, Bishop, will be celebrated on Monday, March 18th. Masses that day should include the Gloria, the Creed, and use the propers and readings for the Feast. • For the Liturgy of the Hours: • Evening Prayer on Sunday, March 17th: the Second Vespers for the Fifth Sunday of Lent are celebrated. • Morning Prayer on Monday, March 18th: Morning Prayer for the Feast of Saint Patrick are celebrated. • Evening Prayer on Monday, March 18th: the First Vespers for the Solemnity of St. Joseph are celebrated. • The churches in the Archdiocese that are used to covering the crosses and images on the Fifth Sunday of Lent may postpone the covering until Wednesday, March 20th.
Message from the Pastor
Dear Parishioner,
The Archdiocesan Annual Appeal enables the Archdiocese to continue offering many vital
ministries, programs, and services to the people of the Archdiocese of San Francisco. Through the AAA, the more than ninety parishes in our Archdiocese unite as one body. Together, we demonstrate our active faith by supporting critical needs, such as youth and young adults, parish schools and students, social ministries, ecumenical efforts, and the greater church. The Appeal is integral to our mission and ministry.
This year's theme is from Matthew 22:39, "Love Your Neighbor as Yourself." As Catholics, we use our gifts and talents to serve and demonstrate our love for our neighbors in need and provide hope.
This support can make an especially significant difference in the lives of our young neighbors,
such as youth and young adults. As a young adult minister stated, ... "support from the AAA
allows us to conduct retreats, family nights, and hold other events, so we can come together,
help young people stay in the church and grow in their faith."
On behalf of everyone who needs and depends on the ministries and services of the
Archdiocese, I ask you to prayerfully consider supporting the 2024 Archdiocesan Annual Appeal.
Our support will help change the lives of those who need and depend on the programs and
services of the Archdiocese.
Our parish goal for this year's Annual Appeal is $34,508. Every dollar we raise in excess of our
goal comes back to us. We intend to use that overage to fund the repair of our church ceiling
and the rectory roof.
We will have an Appeal Weekend on February 10-11, 2024. When that time comes, I ask you to
prayerfully consider making a sacrificial gift.
I thank you for all you do for St. Patrick's, and I thank you in advance for your consideration of
this request. Please join me in prayer for the success of the 2024 Archdiocesan Annual Appeal
and everyone who needs and depends on the programs and services it provides.
Sincerely yours in Christ,
Rev. Roberto A. Andrey
Pastor
