Bishop G. Patrick Ziemann

We still think of you, Bishop Pat! We reminisce of your special place in our hearts and pray for you always. The Brunasso Family

Ever a friend.

We will never forget you, Bishop Pat.
As you enjoy your eternal life in Heaven, pray for us.

Bishop Pat,

We saw Christ through you and in you, both in your ministry and your suffering. Thank you for your service to the Church, and to us. We all miss you. We will remember you, and continue to pray for your help.

Bishop Pat,
You were a friend, a mentor, a light in an often dark world. Your personal struggles have shown us the human face of God and, your rising above them, the enduring grace of Jesus. I can count on one hand the people who have changed my life and you are definately on that hand. Pray for us who still struggle in this world and I look forward to a big Bishop Pat hug when we meet again.

Bishop Pat (or Fr. Ziemann as I remember him) knew that now all of the students at the seminary we going to make it to priesthood, I didn't, but he knew how to nurture us. I remember him saying "If your religion doesn't meet your needs, you owe it to yourself to go out there and find one that does." Admittedly, I didn't remain Catholic, but those words stayed with me and have helped me be happy. I will continue to remember you and be happy.
