Prayer

Prayer is powerful.

“And we have this confidence in him, that if we ask anything according to his will, he hears us.” 1 John 5:14

Looking for Prayers?

We are here to pray for you. Through the power of the Mass and personal intercession, there are many opportunities to cover your intentions in prayer. 

Please be considerate of others when selecting holy day and holiday masses. Do not select more than one of these special masses so that others may also remember a family member or friend at these special times of the year. Mass intentions should be for one person, one married couple or one family. All mass intentions are subject to parish approval. The office can accept cash or checks, but not credit cards. If you need assistance, please contact the parish office.

Schedule a Mass Intention


Our Prayer Circle accepts intentions and offers them up in prayer. Fill out the form below or contact Laura [email protected] to add your intention to our list.

Pastor’s Prayer is an opportunity for you to sign up to be prayed for during one of Msgr's daily holy hours. There are two times available per day, at 6 AM and 8 PM, either in the rectory chapel or the church. There's no commitment from you other than signing up! These dates, times, and your personal intentions will then be automatically added to Msgr's Google calendar.

You can reserve your hour by going to calendly.com/stpatrickparish.

The Five First Saturdays Devotion is a request by Our Lady of Fatima. The Blessed Mother promised to assist at the hour of death with the graces necessary for salvation all who, as an act of reparation to the Immaculate Heart of Mary, on the first five Saturdays of consecutive months:

  1. Go to confession
  2. Receive Holy Communion
  3. Say five decades of the Rosary
  4. Keep Mary company for fifteen minutes meditating on the fifteen mysteries of the Rosary

The sacramental confession can be received within eight days before or after the reception of Communion, provided the communicant is in a state of grace for Communion. Reception of Holy Communion must take place within twenty-four hours of the first Saturday. The reception of Communion need not be part of a Mass.

This devotion takes place after the 8:30 AM Mass at St. Pat’s Downtown on every 1st Saturday.
