Small children are invited to come to the Church Meeting Room during the Liturgy of the Word at the 9:00am Mass each Sunday. They return to the Mass during the Presentation of the Gifts. While in the Meeting Room, members of this ministry read and discuss the Mass readings on a child’s level. This ministry is open to adults and high school students who may volunteer as assistants. Special Children’s Liturgies are held once a month. At these liturgies, the children remain in the church and the homily is directed especially to them.

We are excited to announce a new ministry that everyone can get involved in who wants to cook a dish or has an hour to share in February feeding our neediest neighbors downstairs in our church meeting room. St. Patrick's Emergency Shelter, or SPES for short, invites you to help us feed our homeless brothers and sisters from Armonk, Bedford, Chappaqua and Mount Kisco the week of February 10 through February 16. If you can make a great lasagna, or if you don't like to cook but you'd be willing to serve food for an hour one night, please see our sign up sheet in the back of the church, or call 914-763-3642. We have a website with more details about this new ministry, and we will be making more announcements about the ways this can bring together our extended families and friends to do something caring and fulfilling, as we get closer to the week of Valentine's Day.
