Since we were having a confirmation for university students, it seemed very appropriate to celebrate the Mass for her and invite some of those who benefited from her generosity.
Rose was instrumental in the building of the Betania II Retreat Center in Medway and, for many years, generously supported our campus ministry efforts, which included helping us to bring FOCUS campus ministry to the archdiocese. Saturday, I was very happy to celebrate the confirmations of a group of students from Boston University.Īt the same time as we were celebrating that Mass, they were celebrating the funeral of Rose Patek in Texas.
