Confirmation

Confirmation celebrates the completion of Baptism and a new outpouring of the Holy Spirit, given through anointing with Sacred Chrism, accompanied by the laying on of hands and prayer, which strengthens the faithful as members of the Church to spread and defend the Catholic Faith by word and deed.


The last Sacrament of Initiation to be received calls candidates to discipleship through service, vocation, stewardship, ministry, and a call to holiness. Through the reception of Confirmation, youth “are more perfectly bound to the Church and are enriched with a special strength of the Holy Spirit. Hence, they are, as true witnesses of Christ, more strictly obliged to spread and defend the faith by word and deed.” (CCC 1285)


Visit our High School Faith Formation page for more information on Confirmation at Saint Patrick.

Anointing of the Sick

All persons who are experiencing a serious illness, facing major surgery, seeing a worsening of an already existing health condition, or realizing a noticeable decline in health due to age should consider themselves a candidate for this sacrament. Please contact the Parish Office at 266-3523 to arrange for a visit from the pastor and the celebration of this sacrament.


Annually on the Sunday closest to February 11, which is the church's observance of "World Day of Prayer for the Sick," the sacrament of anointing is celebrated at all weekend Masses.


Check the Bulletin for details or call the Parish Office at 319-266-3523.


Marriage

Arrangements for weddings must be made at least one year in advance.


Call the Parish Office at 266-3523 for information or an appointment. 


The following Wedding Liturgy PDF contains the readings and music selections for your wedding ceremony. Also included is a liturgy planning sheet for the Rite of Marriage within a Mass and outside of Mass. You may choose the readings and then meet with Diane Flaherty to go over them or wait until your meeting and work with her to choose them. Either will work. Commentary on the readings and other information is on the For Your Marriage website

Choose a first reading, psalm, second reading, alleluia verse, and gospel. One of the readings marked by an asterisk (*) must be chosen. There are certain other songs that may also be used, but they need to be approved by Diane. Any music during the liturgy needs to be from our hymnal to encourage those present to sing.


If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to email Diane or call her at 319-230-6651.
