2 THE CHURCH OF SAINT PATRICK | FARMINGTON, CT
WELCOME If you are a visitor to Saint Patrick Church, we want you to know how welcome you are – whether you
have come here from another part of the country, from across the world, or simply from another par-
ish here in the Archdiocese of Hartford. Thanks in part to the generosity of visitors like yourself, we
are able to celebrate the Church’s liturgy here in a fitting and beautiful way. We are also able to offer a
wide range of services to individuals living in our parish and community. - Monsignor Thomas J. Barry
As members of the Body of Christ, we need to pray for each
other & we encourage you to let us know of any parishioner
who is ill or hospitalized, so we can include them each week.

The Archbishop’s annual Appeal helps provide the criti-
cal funding needed to feed the hungry, shelter the
homeless, counsel those in despair, offer much-needed
assistance to the unemployed and make medical care
available to those without health insurance. Your gift to
the 2020 Appeal will help to continue these and other
vital ministries, services and programs that reach out to
so many in need. www.archdioceseofhartford.org. All
funds contributed to the Archbishop’s Annual Appeal
are used exclusively for the purposes outlined in the
Appeal literature, which can be found at archdiocesof-
hartford.org/appeal/. No Appeal funds are ever used
for legal fees or settlements.
The income tax charitable deduction is one of
the few deductions left under the new tax
law. Are you required to take a minimum dis-
tribution (RMD) from your IRA? If yes, then
you can make a gift to our capital campaign
directly from your IRA. It counts towards your
RMD, but your gift will not be taxed because it will not be
included in your income on your tax returns. It’s easy -
just ask your IRA custodian to make a gift (Qualified Chari-
table Distribution) directly to St. Patrick Church. Consult
with your tax advisor as to the RMD requirements as re-
cent changes in the tax law have taken place. Prior to
2020, RMDs from IRA accounts were required to begin in
the year the individual turned 70 1/2. Beginning in 2020,
however, the new age at which RMDs must start is 72.
RMDs for individuals who turned 70 1/2 in 2019, or had
already turned 70 1/2, remain the same for tax year 2020.
Whenever you are considering any action which effects
your taxes, you should consult with your personal advi-
sors.
PLEASE NOTE: Campaign payments can be sent to the
office at any time. Thank you for your commitment to our
addition!
Phase I is Complete!! Thank you to everyone who contributed to
our campaign and made this possible.
