How it Works
When: Starts this Friday, ending on Pentecost Sunday.
Where: Right here! We will send you a daily link to the Amen App.

Centenary Legacy: A Sanctuary of Mercy
“Over the past ten decades, thousands have crossed the threshold of St. Patrick’s carrying heavy hearts, quiet grief, or the excitement of a new beginning in the valley. Our archives are quietly rich with the testimonies of families who arrived seeking nothing more than a quiet space to pray, only to discover an immediate sanctuary of healing, a profound experience of God’s mercy, and a community that quickly transformed an unfamiliar town into their true spiritual home.”
