The Kurds are in the news, so I thought of Pat. When she was in DC, she worked on their behalf. She worshipped with us Sundays at Communitas. I always found her contributions to the shared homily wise and thought-provoking. RIP.

Sister Pat was God's peace ambassador to move difficult structures and hard hearts in favor of the victims of war. As with many other organizations she helped start, she came on the board of directors in the start up of Christians for Peace in El Salvador in January 1985.

Sister Patricia was an inspiration to me. Passionate, articulate, intelligent, not afraid to speak out no matter the cost. If I ever considered becoming a nun, it would have been to emulate her. She gave me courage to push past my comfort zone. I could still use her common sense and wisdom today! RIP Sister Pat Lisa Lyons, SBHS Class of 74
