Mission Statement
We are a Roman Catholic community united by
faith in God, nourished by Jesus through both the
Word & the Eucharist, & empowered by the Holy
Spirit. We strive to meet the spiritual & physical
needs of our growing parish family & community
through prayer, faith formation, evangelization,
stewardship, fellowship, & social justice.
Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament
Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament: “Of all
For Mass intentions, please call the Parish office.
devotions, that of adoring Jesus in the Blessed
Sacrament is the greatest after the sacraments, the
one dearest to God & the one most helpful to us.”-

Adoration is held Thursdays from 8 am to 7 pm.
Eucharistic Adoration
Understood simply, Eucharistic Adoration is adoring or honoring
the Eucharistic Presence of Christ. In a deeper sense, it involves
“the contemplation of the Mystery of Christ truly present before
us”. By worshipping the Eucharistic Jesus, we become what God
wants us to be! Like a magnet, the Lord draws us to Himself &
gently transforms us. In its fullest essence…Eucharistic Adoration
is “God & Man reaching out for each other, at the same time”.
Names may also be placed in our intention jar in the back of the Sanctuary.
Submit bulletin blurbs & bulletin inserts to Marie Baughman at [email protected] or to the Parish Office. Deadline for the bulletin is Monday at
10 am. Bulletin inserts need to be submitted 1week in advance of the weekend to be inserted in the bulletin for approval. Thank you!

K-5th Grade Formation
Youth Formation (6-12th Grades)
SUNDAY GOSPEL REFLECTION: Today’s Gospel focus is facing
the faces of evil. “I know who you are.” In the Gospel of Mark
only the forces of evil recognize Jesus as the Holy One of God.
Today’s Gospel reading sets up the conflict between unclean
spirits, the realm of Satan, & the reign of God, manifested in Jesus.
As the Gospel continues, Jesus will be beset by the religious
authorities who question his credentials & the minions of Satan with
whom he will do battle. The New Testament affirms the reality of
demonic forces. The overriding message is that Jesus has power
over these evil forces.
You can find schedules and information about all of our
programs on the parish website (www.stpatscs.org) under
FAITH FORMATION > YOUTH MINISTRY > the program you are
interested in. Spring schedules are now posted.
EDGE – MIDDLE SCHOOL YOUTH MINISTRY
EDGE and One-Eight Confirmation on Wednesday, ! We’re looking forward to seeing everyone!
We invite all of you who attend our Catholic schools to join our
program too! Building the parish community is an important part of
faith formation!
ON THE WAY HOME FROM MASS: In our culture, there is fascination with the devil or demons. It is unhealthy & can open us up to
demon repression or possession. Jesus has come to show us that
these powers of evil are not glamorous & fascinating, but rather
tawdry & tedious. They merit our caution, not our interest.
IMPORTANT! - If your teen will be receiving the Sacrament of
Confirmation next year (2016), they must take part in a faith
formation program, such as EDGE, this year. This is according to
the bishop’s guidelines for receiving a Sacrament.

Feb 11th - EDGE and One-Eight Confirmation
Feb 18th - EDGE and One-Eight Confirmation

impure, all that is opposed to God. May your presence guard and
protect us all our days. Amen.

…we have a new Parochial Vicar? Father Brian Q. Mohan
is now part of the staff at St. Patrick. I attended Catholic grade
school in Atlanta & Marist School run by the Marist priests &
brothers. I graduated from Florida State University with a bachelor’s degree in Communications & Advertising. I worked in sales
& marketing for 12 years before entering the seminary with the
Society of Mary. I studied in Washington D.C. at the Washington Theological Union earning a Master of Divinity degree. I
joined the Diocese of Colorado Springs in 2004 & spent one
year here at St Patrick in 2004 as an internship year. I served
as a transitional deacon at St. Peter parish & was ordained a
priest in 2005. My first assignment as Parochial Vicar was at
Ave Maria parish in Parker. I served as pastor of Our Lady of
the Visitation 2007-2011 & served as pastor of Pax Christi in
Littleton from 2011-2014.
In January I made a decision to leave Pax Christi & take a
role as a Parochial Vicar. I am very pleased to be assigned
to this wonderful parish of St Patrick. I am impressed with the
level of lay participation & leadership & look forward to
serving as an integral part of this community of faith. Personally, my gifts as a priest center around one to one ministry,
Ignatian spiritual direction & pastoral counseling & 12 step
spirituality. I also offer grief counseling as well.
I enjoy continuous studying of the saints & I am an avid
photographer, enjoy working out at the gym, biking, hiking &
skiing. I welcome visitors to my office & look forward to
working with you all in furthering the Kingdom as disciples of
Christ.
I love quotes from the saints so here are two for you:
“Love & do what you will. If you keep silent, keep silent by
love; if you speak, speak by love; if you correct, correct by
love, if you pardon, pardon by love; let love be rooted in you
and from that root nothing but good can grow.” St. Augustine
In Christ, Fr. Brian Q Mohan
RCIA
Rite of Christian Initiation for Adults (RCIA):
Sharing our Christian faith is important. Others worked in
the harvest so we may reap the benefits of the sacraments and spiritual guidance of the Catholic Church. Likewise, we willingly try to bring this precious gift to the next
generation, our faith community, and to others. One of
the ways we reach out to others (non-Catholics) is through RCIA.
The RCIA process is basically a guide to conversion of heart
led by the Holy Spirit. A team of volunteers helps lead the catechumen through the process; explaining the Church from its Jewish
roots through the life of Jesus, to the modern Church, and the Seven
Sacraments.
We welcome YOUR involvement in RCIA this year. Assistance is
needed to:
-Sponsor individuals
-Facilitate discussions during our Mass dismissals & Tuesday night
sessions
-Share information on your ministry & invite inquirers to join
-Assist in hosting the receptions that follow the Rite of Full Communion (March 22) &/or Easter Vigil (April 4)
However you choose to be involved- it will be a very rewarding
experience! Email Joe Pagano ([email protected])
or call 719-393-5307 to volunteer.
Questions about the process of RCIA? Contact Sister Marlou:
719-510-5692, or [email protected].
Hispanic Ministry
Hispanic Ministry: is an energetic & devoted group of
Adult Faith Formation
Spanish speaking men & women meeting at St. Patrick. We
meet regularly for Scripture studies, Faith Formation & a
Charismatic Prayer Meeting.
The Charismatic Prayer Group seeks to foster a personal
experience of Pentecost for each person by offering opportunities for individuals to encounter Jesus as Savior & Lord &
offer opportunities to experience Baptism in the Holy Spirit.
We come together to praise, worship & honor God & to build
up the Body of Christ as brothers & sisters.
Once a month the Spanish men & women gather to share a
meal & their faith.
Masses in Spanish are offered periodically. Contact Melida
at 444-8129 for more information. Come join us!
Small Church Communities (SCC) are groups of parishioners who gather to reflect on their lives in light of the Gospel
and to share their Christian faith through prayer, friendship
& service. If you or someone you know is interested in joining
or starting a SCC, call Eric at 598-3595.
SYMBOLON is a dynamic, state-of-the-art video resource for
the evangelization and catechesis of adults. Sessions are
shown on Tuesdays from 9:30-11:30am – no registration is
needed.
Mark your Calendar!
Our Annual Lenten Mission starts with the Masses on the
weekend of March 7/8. Father Leo Patalinghug, host &
founder of Grace Before Meals, will preside at the Masses.
Beginning on that Sunday evening, Fr. Leo will provide 3
evening sessions that educate & inspire people of all ages.
Topics will include: Finding God through the Saints, Finding God
through his Mother, & Finding God at the Lord’s Table. Watch

Stewardship of Time and Talent ~ Volunteers Needed !!
Video Ministers Needed: Complete one-on-one video
training provided as long as you need it. Most ministers
just sit down at our state-of-the-art equipment & step
through slides from a playlist created for you. We provide a
cue sheet as your guide. You learn so much more about the
Mass! We have ministers of every age so don't let that stop
you. Please contact Nancy Korpi, servant leader, at 599-8911
or [email protected].
Sacristans: minimize distractions from Mass by proper placement of all items required for the Liturgy. They also verify that
the required positions for EMHC & Lectors are filled. The Sacristan should arrive 20 minutes prior to the start of Mass, assist
during Communion & return everything to its proper place after
Mass (10 minutes). The Sacristan is also a trained & mandated
Extraordinary Minister of Holy Communion (EMHC). If you are
interested in serving in this ministry, contact Christine at 2827705 or email: [email protected].
Adult Choir: Interested persons may serve as a
Choir Member, a Cantor, or an Instrumentalist. Music
ministers rehearse at a 90-minute rehearsal during
the week. For singers, proper vocal production, breathing techniques, vowel formation, diction, & part-singing are all addressed while preparing to prayerfully support the musical
prayer at all Parish liturgies. Instrumentalists are instructed to be
part of an ensemble that supports the singing of the Assembly &
Music Ministers at the Masses. On the weekend, the musicians
arrive to warm up & rehearse before the scheduled Mass at
which they serve. Contact Jolita at 598-3595x115.
Youth & Children’s choirs: Celtic Cherubs, Emerald Singers &
Trinity Singers. Call the parish office for more information.
Altar Server Ministry: provides boys & girls with the
opportunity to learn more about their faith & to begin to
build a foundation of evangelization & stewardship by
serving at Mass & other liturgical functions. Some of the
goals include: enhancing the servers’ understanding of liturgy &
services to the faith community, giving each server opportunities
to serve at various liturgical functions, encouraging them to consider a vocation to the priesthood or religious life, instilling in
them a life-long desire & commitment of service to the Church
Children who are in the 2nd grade & up & who have received
First Holy Communion are eligible. Parents who would like their
children to serve at the altar may contact Katie at 359-3800.
Hospitality Ministers & Greeters: welcome people to the
Church & help with the flow of the Mass. Greeters meet you at
the door with a smile & offer help to any newcomers; Hospitality Ministers welcome you into the Sanctuary & help you find a
seat on a crowded day. They help to make the Mass flow
smoothly—assisting with collections, presentation of the Gifts,
Communion, & special celebrations—always keeping an eye
out for young children. You are offered a parish bulletin as you
depart—with a smile & a thank you. Continually welcoming new
people is a great way to meet everyone joining in this celebration. If you would like to volunteer, contact Andrew 598-3595
x146
Emergency Action Team (EAT): We are radio’d up & ready to
be the focal point for all events that happen before, during or
after Mass: medical issues, security concerns, & safety. We keep
the nursery in radio contact & we are vigilant about things that
are out of the ordinary. The most often asked question is “Do
we need this?” & our answer is “We hope not, but we’d rather
have it in place if we do.” For more info, contact Andy Berry at
487-8970 or email at [email protected].
Sound Ministry: enables the assembly to fully participate in the
Mass by hearing the Word of God, both spoken & sung. They
assist in setting up & operating the sound equipment, primarily
during Masses. There are other instances during weddings, funerals, education sessions & other special occasions that may
require or request sound support. Ministers must be of Confirmation age & able to work closely with the music groups to achieve
an optimal balance & volume with the various microphones used.
No previous experience is necessary; we will train you on everything you need to know. If you would like to learn more, contact Jim at [email protected] or call 598-9299.
Lectors/Commentators: Lectors to proclaim God’s
Holy Word at Mass so that those in our assembly will
focus on the readings & not let anything distract them
from hearing the Words of Scripture being proclaimed. We don’t just read, we “proclaim” the Word of God to
the faithful assembled. In the Liturgy of the Word the Holy Spirit
“recalls” to the assembly all that Christ has done for us. The
Commentator starts the Mass by welcoming the congregation,
leading prayers & giving an introduction to the Liturgy. For
more information, contact Lisa at 313-9004 or email: [email protected].
Extraordinary Ministers of Holy Communion: (EMHC):
share the Precious Body & Precious Blood of Christ during Eucharist (Communion) at Mass & Communion Services. The ministers also share the Precious Body of Christ to the
homebound & in hospitals. Volunteers must be at least 16 years
of age, a practicing Catholic, have received the Sacrament of
Confirmation & if married, had their marriage blessed in the
Church. It is one of the most fulfilling ministries you can do. If you
would like to be trained as an EMHC, please contact Andy at
638-5805 or email [email protected]
Altar Linens Ministry: Each week two dedicated volunteers
wash, iron, fold & return to church the many linens used during
our Eucharistic celebrations. Linen ministers are scheduled 2-3
times in a 6 month period. It is a small commitment with no meetings to attend. Detailed training is provided. A new schedule
begins in January & you are invited to join this group of dedicated people in serving our parish. For more info or to join
please call the ministry servant leader at 282-0729.
Ministry of the Week
Vocations/Missions/Rosaries: The Mission is to
raise the awareness of all parishioners to the
urgent need for religious vocations. They support
& encourage those now in the religious life as
well as promote & encourage the call to
religious
vocations.
Volunteers

information to the community & foster discernment of all vocations through existing programs. They foster
family prayer & encourage discernment of vocations in the family (including marriage & single life). Parishioners can sign up
ahead of time & receive the “Traveling Chalice” at Mass, retain
it for one week & pray for vocations. Volunteers also assist the
missions in spreading the gospel by assembling rosaries that are
sent to missionaries for distribution. Youth are encouraged to
participate. The servant leaders are Joan & Vern Gawlik; they

Emergency Action Team (EAT) Tip - Shelter in Place
Vocations
IN TALKING WITH YOUR CHILDREN, have you neglected to
raise the call to Church ministry? The process of answering
God’s call begins in childhood. Throughout adolescence & adulthood, the attitudes assumed in childhood begin to influence the
course of one’s life. A vocation or a talent will not grow to fruition unless it is nurtured in childhood &adolescence by a parent.
Often children talk about what they want to be “when they
grow up”: doctors, lawyers, athletes, nurses, movie stars, teachers, carpenters. They may talk about these roles, but do they
ever talk about being a priest, sister or brother? You are the
hand of God—encourage your children to consider Church ministry.
Do you feel you may be called to priesthood, sisterhood or
brotherhood? For more info about vocations, contact Bishop
Sheridan at the Diocese of Colorado Springs, CO at 636-2345.

of God.“ Come & join us for an opportunity to grow in your

FOR THE PROTECTION OF LIFE
In a couple short weeks, it will be Ash Wednesday,
the start of the Lenten Season. It also marks the start of
the next “40 Days for Life” campaign. From Ash
Wednesday until Palm Sunday, pro-life prayer warriors will cover the abortion facility on Centennial Blvd.: with prayer. Prayers
for the babies, the parents, & even for the abortion providers.
Prayer works. There have been many babies saved, abortion
workers who have quit, & clinics that have closed. Please consider
joining in this important ministry, whether you can pray on the
street, at church, or at home. More info at
www.40daysforlife.com/coloradosprings .
Also keep a watch on what our state legislature is doing. It
isn’t published in the daily news, but there are many bills that
affect the culture of life—or death! Here are a few important
bills in the current session:
House Bill 15-1041 for the Protection of Human Life Beginning at Conception prohibits performing of abortions.
House Bill 15-1112 Creating the “Born-Alive Infant Protection
Act”. This bill requires a physician performing an abortion to take
all medically appropriate & reasonable steps to preserve the
life of a born-alive infant.
House Bill 15-1128 to adopt the “Women’s Health Protection
Act.” To protect mothers from the dangers & complications of
abortion, it requires all abortion clinics to be licensed and inspected by the Department of Public Health & Environment.
There will be others. Your representatives need to hear from
you about the values you do or don’t support. Otherwise, the pro
-death lobby will be the only ones heard.

St. Andrew Corsini
(February 4)
St. Andrew Corsini lived from 1302 to 1373. When his mother was pregnant with
him, she dreamed that she had given birth to a wolf that sauntered to the gate of a
Carmelite monastery, & entering the vestibule of the church, the wolf had changed into a
lamb. Because of her dream, Andrew’s parents raised him to be a very pious &
God-fearing boy. However, little by little he succumbed to worldly pleasures in spite of the
frequent reproofs from his mother.
After Andrew became aware that his parents had vowed him to the service of Our
Lady, he mended his ways & at the age of seventeen he entered the Carmelite Order. He
never was deterred from his decision to become a Carmelite, even though he was persistently tempted by the
devil. He was a man of austere penance. Andrew fasted continuously, wore a hair shirt, & prayed the
penitential psalms daily. As an act of humility, he often washed the feet of the poor. His special gift from God
was the grace to effect the conversion of hardened sinners. In 1360, he was made the bishop of Fiesole in
Tuscany.
Patron: Civil disorder; riot
Symbols: Holding a cross, with a wolf and lamb at his feet, and floating above a battlefield on a cloud or a
white palfrey
