News from Sarpy County, Nebraska

March 20, 2020 By National Board

from National Director John Wilson …

On March 11, 2020, the members of the St.Columbkille Division 1 in Sarpy County, Nebraska served between 500-600 parishioners at St. Patrick Church in Gretna Nebraska. All enjoyed a great corn beef and cabbage meal with all the fixings. This was a free event that included the meal, entertainment and games. They have been helping St. Patrick Church with their annual St. Patrick’s Day Hooley celebration since 2011. The Hooley organizers arrange local troops of Irish dancers for entertainment and the dinner for this event.

The Mission Statement of St Patrick Church – We, the community of St. Patrick’s, are a diverse people of faith, committed to using our variety of gifts to serve the Lord and one another through worship, faith, formation, education, and outreach to the community.  Through this, we strive to be a sign of Christ’s presence in the world, making visible the kingdom of God.
