Pat is currently a minister in Cape Province in South Africa. She spent several years with her husband Graham in Zimbabwe where she taught English. Her wish to be ordained forced them to move to South Africa about 9 years ago. She then went on to become ordained two years later. Pat and Graham have two daughters (one of whom lives in Leamington) and a son and has two grandchildren. 
We are really looking forward to welcoming her to our parish and for what God has in store for us all in 2017.
