We invite you to the St. Patrick Parish Cancer Support Group for those who are patients, survivors, caregivers, family and friends.

Father Michael Samala and Dr. Carlos Machicao offer spiritual and medical advice and support for our group.  With their help and the help of our facilitators, we offer educational sessions once a month for dealing with cancer questions and concerns.
