St. Patrick’s Faith Event Ministry is an evangelization movement of St. Patrick’s Parish in Merced, California, the Diocese of Fresno. The mission of St. Patrick’s Faith Event Ministry is to plan, promote, and host dynamic Christian speakers, artists, and events for our parish and our community.

Our goal, in the spirit of the New Evangelization of St. John Paul II, is to awaken and unite our community, to nurture individual hearts, and to build up, inspire and spiritually strengthen each family – the domestic church – so that we may be living witnesses, through our vibrant faith, of the love of Christ and the richness of our faith in our everyday life.
