Pat continues to step up for our council in every way possible. Whether he is filling essential roles during meetings—most recently serving as our Inside Guard—or stepping in to support our broader operations, Pat’s presence is a constant pillar of strength. Notably, upon hearing that a District Deputy would not be available for our recent installation ceremony, he immediately volunteered to help, drawing on his deep wealth of experience to ensure the event proceeded smoothly. It is a testament to his character that he took on this responsibility without hesitation, even while managing his own physical ailments. This level of dedication is characteristic of Pat’s long history with the Knights of Columbus. Over the years, he has faithfully served in nearly every officer position within the Council, with his tenure as a District Deputy standing out as a particularly significant contribution to our district. Beyond his fraternal leadership, we are also deeply grateful for his unwavering commitment to our parish, where he has and continues to served faithfully in the choir for many years to come. Thank you, Pat, for your steadfast leadership, your spirit of service, and your continued commitment to our community and faith.
