Members of all five parishes are invited to join St. Patrick’s in Seneca for the first three weeks of Advent as we host the series “Presence: The Mystery of the Eucharist”. Bishop Jenky recently released this year’s Festival Letter on the importance of the Eucharist, so it is a perfect time to delve into the deeper meaning of the mystery as we prepare for the birth of Christ this Advent. You can participate in three different ways:

1.       Coming to St. Patrick’s for our community showings
2.      Gathering together to watch in your own parishes or communities
3.      Or Signing in on Formed.org to watch at your convenience
​
Discussion questions will be available in the bulletin or online @ Formed.org
The videos will be shown in the church twice each week; after the 9:00am mass on Sundays and again on Tuesday evenings at 7:00pm.

With the heating season beginning, we ask that everyone to be aware of closing doors throughout the church to save on fuel costs.  We ask that as you enter or leave to make the sure the doors are closed and not left open to allow cold air to come into the church.  Also note that one of the double doors at the bell tower entrance has been marked to remain closed so that the weather stripping will be kept in place.   Please do  not hook the doors open for any reason throughout the year.                                                                                                                                                                                                                             ~ Thank you.
