Sad day for ST Patrick School...

Brother Christopher, the principle at St. Pat's Catholic School passed away yesterday. Cancer. It all happened pretty quick. He was back from a trip to see family this weekend, they set up hopice care Monday and he passed yesterday.

He was only here less than a year and I did not get to know him too well, but he seemed to be a great guy. He sang while working in the flower beds around church. Some young guys in the parish, 18-19 years old recently related to me that a couple of weeks ago they were messing around on the old school bus that is parked in the church lot. They saw Brother striding toward them. He was a tall man and always wore the traditional cassock. Since they did not know him too well they thought they were in trouble. They weren't. Brother tossed them the keys to the bus and they drove it around the parking lot.

Drive on Brother, thanks to God your suffering was not to long.
