Special Needs/Accessibility

St. Patrick Church has installed a Hearing Loop in the sanctuary to assist those with hearing loss hear more clearly during Masses.

A Hearing Loop is an assistive listening system that transmits sound directly into one’s hearing aids or cochlear implants rather than depending on sound coming from the loudspeakers.

To receive the Loop signal, manually activate your T-coil, or telephone setting, on your hearing aid or cochlear implant. If you don’t know if you have a T-coil or whether yours is properly programmed, consult with your audiologist or hearing aid professional.

If you don’t wear hearing aids, ask to use a Loop receiver to receive the sound.   Edit

St. Patrick Church History

The Beautiful Beginning

In September of 1987, Bishop Daily appointed Fr. Frank Guinan to establish a parish to serve the area. At the time, several of the present residential communities did not exist.

Boundaries

The original boundaries went through the middle of the Bluffs on the north side and went just 1/2 mile on the south side of the church site. Following a meeting with all the local pastors, the boundaries were revised and improved upon. The Diocesan Building Commission had already purchased the house on Hope Lane, adjacent to the property, which at that time was a wilderness. The Rectory was established and used for the office and meetings. So, the next task was to find a place for Sunday Mass.

Finding a Home

John and Marilyn McCarthy, owners of the Fireside Inn Restaurant in the Bluffs, offered the use of their restaurant for no charge whatsoever. Masses were scheduled for 3:30 p.m. Saturday, so it would be over in time to allow the Restaurant to open at 5:00 p.m., and 9:30 and 11:00 a.m. on Sundays.

Our first weekend of Masses on October 24th and 25th produced an astonishing gathering of two hundred fifty people. At this time we also began our Monday night meetings at the Rectory, which were so successful in organizing our Liturgical Ministry, producing our Bulletin, planning our Census and Stewardship campaigns, planning our first picnic at the Cleary residence, and our first St. Patrick's Day party for February through April 1988, etc.

Growing Pains

In December we added another Mass at 2:30 p.m. on Saturday afternoon and in January we added the 8:00 a.m. on Sunday mornings. We were blessed to have Msgr. Rigney to assist that first winter. We were also grateful to have Maida Lowman join us as Secretary three days a week. Her office was the Rectory living room, where we also had daily Mass. It was after Mass one morning that George Hallahan informed our staff that Frenchman's Creek was building a Clubhouse and that we might avail ourselves of the three portable buildings which served them as a pro shop, locker room, and Restaurant, and which they would be tearing down. By Christmas, they had committed to giving them to us, and Derek Carroll began the work of finding movers, carpenters, etc. so that we could use them for our first church building. Initially, we were to have them in May, but it was September when we actually began moving.

The portable buildings became the first church buildings on site. The first Mass was offered on Christmas in 1988. Bishop Daily blessed the building on December 10, 1989. After that, our congregation now had plenty of room to grow and was able to observe the progress being made from week to week.

From the Ground Up

On February 11, 1989, we conducted our first Census and Stewardship Drive, John Gintoli as Chairman. We had our first St. Patrick's Day party at the Elk's Club, which was chaired by Gene and Marge Grall and attended by over 300 people. Gene then went on to begin organizing a Men's Club of which he became President. The Women's Guild was formed under the leadership of Bobbye Dickerson, and Jean Primeroso organized our Catechetical program which had some 50 children in attendance and met on Sunday mornings in the Rectory.

Helping Hands

By May 1989, Fr. James Driscoll and Msgr. David Casazza, retired priests from New Jersey, were assisting on weekend as Msgr. Rigley was obliged to give all his time to St. Christopher’s in Hobe Sound. In August of 1989, we were very fortunate to have Sister Barbara Jean join our parish as Directress of Religious Education. She worked with the Youth, conducted Baptism Sessions for the Parents, oversaw the RCIA Program, oversaw the Care Ministry Program; helped to plan special Liturgical celebrations, and helped whenever and wherever needed in the Parish. In November, just before the Dedication, we were also fortunate to welcome Fr. Michael Heenan who had retired from Rockville Center, diocese.

In 1991, a building committee was formed with Bill Murphy as chairman. The committee visited several churches in the region and met with architects, before selecting Richard SanGiovanni to design St. Patrick Church. In the Spring of 1994, Vincent and Ann Marotta agreed to be the chairpersons of the building fund campaign to raise the required three and one-half million dollars. In March 1991, the groundbreaking ceremony took place. In less than thirteen years, the parish of St. Patrick grew from its beginning at the Fireside Inn to the creation of a most beautiful Catholic Church in this park-like setting.

The entire parish will be forever grateful to many, in particular, Florence and Larry DeGeorge who funded the beautiful Chapel of the Blessed Sacrament, Gail and Frank Scarpa who donated the rose window over the main altar. The late Sidney Simowitz devoted a great deal of his time and expertise supervising the entire construction process. In addition, Sidney and Diane were most generous in their donations.

The “Tree of Life” in the main entrance to the church lists some of the initial supporters of the building effort. The official dedication program contained hundreds of names of those who supported the new building campaign.

Closing Remarks

On December 10, 1989, at 11 a.m. we had over 600 people attend the Dedication by Bishop Daily. The Dedication homily was preached by the Rector of St. Ignatius Loyola Cathedral. It was attended by over twenty priests.

In the months following the Dedication, our Mass attendance has more than doubled from the same period the previous years (from 700 – approx. 1500).
