Volunteers in San Lucas Mission
Go to http://www.patkearns.blogspot.com/ and see the experience of this Family on the trip to San Lucas Mission on 2006
We are a typical Catholic Family given a call to serve God's people / children. We have 3 children. Pat is finishing his diaconate formation, ordination scheduled for June 2008 (God willing). Pat currently works as the Director of Nursing Services at a Psychiatric Hospital, Liz is a Mother, Wife, and Realtor. All of the kids are students: Jeneah - College, Sean - Jr. High, (7th), Mackenzie - Elementary (5th). We are discerning a call to Missionary life once Pat is ordained. Simply, we try to incorporate our faith, hope and love into every aspect of our lives. With God's help and grace, may we be his instrument.
