St. Patrick Parish

Praised be Jesus Christ! Now and Forever!
Live Jesus in our Heart, Forever!
 
I am happy to announce that Bishop, after consultation with the Spokane Regional Health District, has decided to allow public celebration of Holy Mass, with some restrictions.
 
The obligation to attend Sunday Mass is still lifted, so no one needs to feel pressured to come.  I look forward to seeing those of you who are able to attend, and hope that there may soon be a day when life can return to normal for everyone.
 
Please see the Bishop’s Guidelines here: https://dioceseofspokane.org/coronavirus
 
If you have any questions about these guidelines please do not hesitate to give me a call!  My direct number is 509-487-6363

Spiritual Communion: (When we cannot attend Holy Mass)
My Jesus, I believe that you are present in the most Blessed Sacrament. I love You above all things and I desire to receive You into my soul. Since I cannot now receive You sacramentally, come at least spiritually into my heart. I embrace You as if You were already there, and unite myself wholly to You. Never permit me to be separated from You. Amen. -St. Alphonsus
 
Prayer to Our Lady, Health of the Sick:
Virgin, most holy, Mother of the Word Incarnate, Treasurer of graces, and Refuge of sinners, I fly top your motherly affection with lively faith, and I beg of you the grace ever to do the will of God.
Into your most holy hands I commit the keeping of my heart, asking you for health of soul and body, in the certain hope that you, my most loving Mother, will hear my prayer.
Into the bosom of your tender mercy, this day, every day of my life, and at the hour of my death, I commend my soul and body.
To you I entrust all my hopes and consolations, all my trials and miseries, my life and the end of my life, that all my actions may be ordered and disposed according to your will and that of your Divine Son. Amen.
 
Pray to the 14 Efficacious Holy Helpers in Times of Adversity and Difficulties:
Let us prayer.  Almighty and Eternal God. Who has bestowed extraordinary graces and gifts on Thy Saints George, Blaise, Erasmus, Pantaleon, Vitus, Christopher, Denis, Cyriacus, Eustace, Achatius, Giles, Margaret, Catherine and Barbara, and has illustrated them by miracles; we beseech Thee to graciously hear the petitions of all who invoke their intercession. Through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen

O GOD, Who did miraculously fortify the Fourteen Holy Helpers in the confession of the Faith; grant us, we beseech Thee, to imitate their fortitude in overcoming all temptations against the Faith, and protect us through their intercession in all dangers of soul and body, so that we may serve Thee in purity of heart and chastity of body. Through Jesus Christ our Lord in unity with the Holy Spirit, one God for all eternity. Amen
