St. Patrick School Teachers Wish List
You can help the St. Patrick School teachers by purchasing items from their Amazon Wish List. The teachers want these items for their classrooms but would otherwise have to purchase them with their own money. Brittney Lancaster created the Wish List, which can be accessed via the link below. When you go to check out, select the address “Billie Shay address hidden" - that will send the gift straight to the school. Thank you for your support!

The plan is for a series of regional, national, and international meetings that will lead up to the Sixteenth Ordinary General Assembly of the Synod of Bishops in October 2023, whose theme is “For a Synodal Church: Communion, Participation, and Mission.”
