Worship
Sunday Mornings
8:00 a.m.: Holy Eucharist, Rite I
A quiet contemplative service without music using the traditional prayers in English.

10:30 a.m.: Holy Eucharist, Rite II
Primarily in English with some portions in Vietnamese. The sermon is given in English with a summary in Vietnamese. The Gospel is always read in both languages.

During the school year, September - June, we invite children ages 3 - 5th grade to Children's Chapel Time during the 10:30 a.m. worship service on Sunday mornings. The children follow the Jr. Crucifer from the Sanctuary to the Chapel during the sequence hymn for an illustrated Gospel reading and brief homily. The time also includes music and activities reflective of the Gospel reading and church season. They join their family in the Sanctuary during the Peace. Once a month, the children have shared with the congregation the songs they have learned as an offertory anthem.

Our youth (grades 5 - 12) have continued to bring enthusiasm, energy and faith in assisting in the liturgy once a month as lectors, singers, and leading the prayers. Youth Sunday happens once a month at St. Patrick's, and the youth meets most Saturdays for rehearsal and fellowship. Aside from Youth Sunday, members of our youth are part of the acolyte team, bell choir and lectors.

The Nursery is staffed by two paid adults and two paid teen assistants. A designated volunteer oversees the selection and scheduling of the nursery workers and reviews the nursery operation to assure we offer safe and quality care on behalf of the vestry. Children in the nursery are included in Children's chapel during the 10:30 service.

Wednesday Mornings
10:30 a.m.: Morning Prayer in Vietnamese, for those who can come to participate in prayer and fellowship.
