Welcome to St. Patrick’s Catholic Church!


It is my great pleasure to welcome you to our warm, generous, and vibrant faith community here at the Church of St. Patrick.


Our church is a place where you can encounter Jesus in the sarmanets and find inspiration, support, and connection with others who share your values. We offer a variety of ministries, programs, and small groups to meet different needs and interests.


 Please take a moment to explore our website and learn more about our ministries, mission, and upcoming events. If you'd like to learn more, connect with us via the registration form on our website or visit us at one of our Masses. We're here to support you on your spiritual journey!" and to fulfill our mission: “Love God, Love Your Neighbor, Make Disciples.”


This mission is built upon a foundation of values that reflect our faith and guide how we think, live, serve, and connect with one another:

  • Fostering Spiritual Growth – We are committed to nurturing holiness in our lives and in the lives of those around us, coming together as a family of faith.
  • Joyfulness – We celebrate the gift of faith and share our joy with others in all we do.
  • Commitment – We take seriously the responsibilities entrusted to us and remain faithful to the mission and one another.
  • Service to Others – We live out our faith by serving—whether here in our parish, in the broader community, or wherever we are called.
  • Giving – We give meaningfully, not only financially but also of our time, talents, and hearts, to support one another and the mission of the Church.
  • Humility – We know it is not “I” but “we,” working together in small acts of love, that create lasting change.
  • Fellowship – We believe in the power of God’s love to unite us and bring joy through community and togetherness.
  • Compassion – We seek to love as Jesus did—recognizing the burdens others carry and walking with them in love and understanding. 

If you’ve visited our parish, we hope you already feel like part of the family—and if not, please know the door is always open. Regardless of your faith background, life situation, or current relationship with God, I invite you to come and worship with us. Make new friends, grow in faith, and let St. Patrick Catholic Church become a part of your life.


You are always welcome here.

Fr. Paul Nguyen

  • What Should I wear?

    We want you to feel comfortable. After all, we are thrilled that you're joining us and want you to be more focused on the service than what you're wearing. In the summertime, it's not uncommon to see people wearing sandals, shorts, and a shirt. Others prefer to still put on their "Sunday best," and that's fine too! However, we do request that shorts be of a conservative length (no “short-shorts”) and that in general, clothing be respectable and conservative.

  • How do I get to Church of St. Patrick?

    Our parish is located at 7900 Bee Ridge Road Sarasota, FL 34241. Here is a map.

  • Where Should I park?

    There is ample parking for all of our parishioners. Directional signs throughout the property will guide you to your parking space.

  • I’m not Catholic, how do I know when to sit, stand and kneel?

    There’s no need to be self-conscious about the postures and responses used during worship. Most visitors just follow the lead of the our parishioners. However, we do have worship aids located in each pew that provide you with the order of the mass, the postures, and the words to each prayer. If you don't see a worship aid in your pew, ask an usher, and they will be happy to bring you one.

  • I’m not Catholic, is it okay for me to participate in communion?

    Communion, or The Eucharist, is the most intimate expression of our faith. Catholics believe that the host is literally the body of Christ, transformed from bread by the priest presiding over the service. Most evangelicals think of Communion as symbolic, so it makes sense that they are not as strict about having the right relationship to it as Catholics and Orthodox Christians who believe it is a sacrament and the true presence of Christ. So, if you are not Catholic, we ask that you not receive communion. However, those not receiving the Body of Christ and Precious blood are invited to come forward with their hands crossed over their chests for a special blessing.


  • Am I expected to put money in the offering?

    If you are visiting with us, we don't expect you to put money in the offering, and you are welcome to just let it pass you by. If you consider our parish your church home, we'd love for you to prayerfully consider giving to our parish on a weekly basis. You can give by check or cash during the service, or you can sign up for online giving here.


  • I have a hearing problem, is there any special assistance?


  • I have small children.

    Take a deep breath - God gave children their energy and curiosity! Don’t worry about trying to silence their wiggles in His house.


    Consider sitting near the front so your little ones can better see and hear what's happening. Watching backs of heads gets old fast.


    Gently explain what’s going on during the service. Sing along, pray, and participate - kids learn by watching and imitating you!


    If you need to step out with your child, that’s perfectly okay - but please come back! Remember Jesus’ words: “Let the little children come to Me.”


    How we welcome children in worship shapes how they see the Church, God, and each other. Help them feel like they belong - because they do.
