Meet Pat Wycoff! 

 Pat Wyckoff is just 81 years young and has been volunteering in the parish office since the end of last year. Even though she has been a parishioner here since the early 1990’s, most of her charitable work happened outside of the church. It wasn’t until she experienced Alpha in the fall of 2018 that Pat felt a calling to do more. Pat says, “Sunday [at St. Francis] is like coming home and that’s what it feels like when I come to work [at the office].” Since losing her husband nearly five years ago Pat has sometimes struggled, but feels she has found happiness in volunteering, remarking “it makes me feel like I’m doing something to help myself when I’m helping someone else.” Pat booed herself for not doing it sooner, but we are just grateful for her help now. Her presence, like that all of our office volunteers, is vital to the running of our parish. If there’s anything we can learn from Pat it’s that many hands make light work, and it’s never too late to jump in and help!
