In 2007 St. Patrick's Parish was recognized as an outstanding Stewardship Parish by the International Catholic Stewardship Council

A Catholic disciple is a good steward and receives God's gifts gratefully, nurtures God's gifts responsibly, shares God's gifts with charity and justice, and returns God's gifts in abundance.
