Farewell Father Pat . . .
It is with deep sadness that we announce the death of our beloved
“Fr. Pat”
(Rev. Patrick W. Donohue).
Fr. Pat entered into Eternal Life on Wednesday, July 12 after a long and courageous battle. Here at St. Mary’s, Fr. Pat will be especially remembered for his tremendous gift of presence. Even though Fr. Pat was officially “retired” He was present at every event and greeted folks before every Sunday Liturgy.
“Well done good and faithful servant. May the angels welcome you into Paradise.”
