ADORATION SUNDAY!!!

10am - Confessions for 1 hour and Adoration until 3pm at St. Patrick

The Bishop has encouraged us to open our churches for people to come and pray (we've scheduled things for security and for safety pews blocked off to ensure social distancing). During the hours of Adoration, the doors of the Church will be opened, and the Lord in the Blessed Sacrament waiting for anyone who is already out on “essential” business and would like to make a visit.

The Bishop of course asks us to do all of this on the condition that safety measures and social distancing are strictly observed.This includes staying 6 feet away from other parishioners, avoiding the unnecessary touching of any surfaces, and washing of hands. The wearing of gloves or masks when inside the church is not required, but you are welcome to do so. Please be as considerate as possible to help prevent the spread of germs.

Regular Sunday donations are appreciated in this difficult time. Checks or cash can be mailed to 515 W St Thomas More Way, Spokane, WA 99208. You may also send in your donation via our website, by clicking on the graphic (shown below so you know what to look for) which says "Online Giving."
