Congratulations Marge Hickey!
Marge Hickey is the first recipient of
the St Patrick Parish Witness Award.
This award recognizes witnesses of the
faith who make a substantial
contribution of exceptional significance
to the St Patrick Parish Community
and/or to evangelizing our Catholic
Faith. This contribution must be of rare
quality due to praiseworthy length of
service and/or of substantial and
lasting impact in one or more service
category. The Witness Award consists
of a framed print of James Tissot’s
painting, “The Voice in the Desert”.
Marge has served as the Parish Minister
for over 19 years. Through her diligent
efforts, hundreds of seniors, married
couples, and RCIA candidates received
unsurpassed spiritual guidance that will
form them and future generations.
Additionally, she has ministered in a
myriad of activities, ensuring they
comply with our Catholic identity and
are conducted with the highest dignity,
respect and piety, including: funerals,
baptisms, weekday mass preparation,
scripture studies, and the homebound
communion ministry.
A member of this parish since 1975, she
continues to volunteer her time to help
whenever and wherever there is a
need, and she does so with a humility
and sincerity that makes her among the
most trusted, admired, and
approachable members of our parish.
Marge’s exemplary service bears
witness to Christ, and reflects superior
credit to our parish and to herself.
Marge was joined by her husband, Joe,
as she received this award in front of
her fellow parishioners during the 7:00
am Mass on January 13th.
