We GATHER in places that make sense to us. We gather where it feels most natural and comfortable. Throughout the coming months, you will hear some simple words that seem to capture the Mission of Old St. Patrick’s: Gathered and Sent. Gathering is so important to us. Whether it is actually here in the physical space of this historic church, or gathered in some space and time and with those who share in this passion for great church, our sense of GATHERING in order to be nourished and fed by Spirit is essential to our identity. We need to gather and likewise, we need to be SENT!
Being SENT means taking the wisdom and the life-giving gifts of the GATHERING and going forth to make a difference. We need to gather and likewise we need to be sent.
Breathe on us, O Spirit of God, as you gather us together and as you send us out to make your world a Holy place.
