Patrick is with us for a "pastoral year" in the midst of his studies for the priesthood. He has spent the past few years of his formation at Theological College at Catholic U in DC and before that completed his undergrad degree in Physics and Math at UPenn. He enjoys sports and hanging out in the adoration chapel, is fairly competitive yet also fairly humble, and knows far more about the Catholic faith than most people.
