Join Fr. David for his first Mass
9:00 a.m.
as we
3
Three years ago, we were at a turning point in our parish.
Fr. Seamus was retiring, and there were no priests ready to step into the role of pastor here at St. Pat’s.
Archbishop Sartain considered the alternatives and decided to try a model that was a bit scary for some of us. He chose to assign Kevin Lovejoy as our Pastoral Coordinator.
In essence, Kevin took on all the roles of a pastor except sacramental duties. While Fr. Jerry, Fr. John, Fr. Lamanna, and our other Jesuit Fathers cared for our sacramental needs, Kevin took on the spiritual, emotional, physical, and financial job of a pastor. And he did it well. We owe him a huge debt of gratitude that cannot be repaid in a few words at the end of Mass.
It would have been understandable if Kevin had just marked time over the past three years, waiting for a new pastor. Instead, Kevin rose to the challenge of empowering the laity of our parish to take on new roles of leadership and responsibility. We have developed a vibrancy that is essential as we greet our new pastor. Kevin is handing over a healthy and lively parish in a couple weeks to Fr. David Mulholland. For that alone we are thankful.
Kevin has also created a wonderful workplace for our parish staff. Under his leadership Kim Ward has become a pastoral associate for Faith Formation; he has hired Laura Dougherty, Sandra Kuharic, Eugene Lao, Allison Verhofstadt, and Christy Johnson to handle pastoral care, liturgy, outreach, youth ministry, and development. And our steady eddies of Michelle Carpenter, Mary Leverson, Amy Waller, Joe & Anna Skillman, Bob McKamey, and so many others have grown in the collaborative, pastoral workplace that Kevin has nurtured. Kevin’s work with Chris Gavin has helped make our school a place of learning and growth for our children and their families.
We also want to say a word of gratitude to Kevin’s wife, Lisa. Kevin’s role was more than a job; it was a ministry. And, as a result, Lisa and the family had to really make sacrifices. Late nights and seven-day weeks can put a huge strain on people, and we recognize this sacrifice. Thank you, Lisa, for your support and understanding during challenging times.
Kevin isn’t going anywhere. He will now be working for Fr. David, helping to serve the needs of St. Patrick, St. Rita, and Holy Cross. His job will only change a bit, and he will have a good boss in Fr. David. And Lisa, it is our prayer that he will have more time with family.
So, on behalf of the entire community of Saint Patrick Catholic Church, we thank you Kevin for your faithful service to God and our parish.

Liturgy Line - Why No Gluten Free Hosts?
Every so often we are asked why we don’t offer gluten-free hosts for communion. Although it would be wonderful to be able to do so, the Vatican has stated that hosts that are completely free of gluten are invalid matter for the celebration of the Eucharist. Hosts valid for consecration must be made with some degree of wheat.
St. Patrick Catholic Church does offer low gluten hosts. Anyone desiring to receive such should approach the celebrating priests down the center of the aisle and verbally request the host. These hosts are purchased from one of the few Vatican approved suppliers, the Benedictine Sisters of Perpetual Adoration in Missouri.
Acknowledging that even the lowest amount of gluten can be harmful to someone with Celiac Disease, it is important to remember that receiving the Precious Blood from the cup alone is still a complete and valid reception of Eucharist and includes the recipient in full communion with the rest of the congregation.
Prayer Request
Do you need prayers for yourself or someone you love?
It is as simple as asking. Send us your request and we’ll add it to our prayers. Contact us at: [email protected] or 253-383-2783

Saint Patrick Parish invites all to a deeper relationship with Jesus Christ through Eucharist, Prayer, and Education, to become Disciples for a World Church.
Revised Mission Statement established March 2017
An Opportunity to Serve Jesus
There are many ways to serve God and our community here at St. Patrick. One of the most powerful ways to do so is also one of the easiest.
Our Extraordinary Ministers of Holy Communion (Eucharistic Ministers) distribute the Eucharist to our brothers and sisters, quite literally bringing Jesus to each other.
The time commitment is minimal - and you're already here! This ministry takes place during the Mass you're already attending.
We will train you and you will be scheduled during the Mass of your choice.
Please contact [email protected] or call the office to arrange for training.
