The St. Pat’s community is very blessed to have so many 
ministries spreading the Good News of Jesus. We thank the catechists for all the ways they enliven our faith community.
In addition to the blessing, catechists received a pin—a Tau Crucifix lapel pin. The Tau Crucifix was special to St. Francis of Assisi. Kim Ward, Pastoral Assistant for Faith Formation noted she “chose this one because of our beloved Pope Francis.” Learn more about why this shape crucifix was so loved by St. Francis of Assisi.
