GIFT (Generations in Faith Together)
The GIFT program is designed to incorporate all parishioners of St. Patrick from newborn to the oldest members of the parish. GIFT will also be incorporated into the Religious Education Program. GIFT is intended for every member of the parish to grow in faith together.
