The Parish of St. Patrick welcomes Rev. Barnabas Shayo, who was appointed Part-Time Parochial Vicar for St. Patrick Parish and Part-Time Pastoral Ministry for Lehigh Valley Hospital – Schuylkill, and Nursing Homes. Please make Fr. Barnabas feel at home as he gets acclimated to his new surroundings and us!
On October 8, 2017, the St. Patrick Teen Group was started! Time goes by so fast, especially when you are busy, and boy…have we been busy this past year! On November 11, we celebrated our 1st year Anniversary, and decided on a name. The name of our group is “LORICA” pronounced “La-Rika” (sounds like the famous sneakers brand). “Lorica” is a prayer recited for protection. The Lorica of St. Patrick means St. Patrick’s Breastplate prayer: “Christ be with me, Christ be within me, Christ behind me, Christ before me, etc.” which will be prayed at each meeting.
