St. Patrick of Heatherdowns is a vital part of the Catholic Church, united in one faith, one baptism, committed to the proclamation of the good news of Jesus Christ in word and sacrament. We worship together as the Body of Christ, we minister to one another in the spirit of the Gospel and we reach beyond ourselves to those in need of our time, talent and treasure. We become the living presence of God in love and service.

Due to privacy laws, the parish office is not often notified by the hospital when one of our parishioners has been admitted. We would appreciate being advised by a family member when this has occurred. We do make the effort to visit parishioners in hospitals when we are aware of an admittance. To let us know if someone you love has been hospitalized, please call our parish secretary, Mary Miller at 419-381-1540.

St. Patrick of Heatherdowns is located at the intersection of Eastgate Road and Heatherdowns Boulevard. If you are coming from the Anthony Wayne Trail, Michigan Avenue turns into Eastgate at the Heatherdowns intersection. Need a map? Here it is!  St_Pats_Map.gif

Each Mass, the children of our parish come forward to make a gift of coins. This small change makes a big difference in our community.

At the beginning of each school year, children in the Family Faith Formation Program and SPH Elementary School vote on who will receive tithe funds for the coming year. If you would like to have your organization considered for the 2012/2013 ballot, please contact the parish office.
