My name is Pat Quirk. I was born in Grand Forks, North Dakota. I went to Catholic school for 12 years. I moved to Eau Claire when I graduated from technical school to become a mechanic. My wife, Janet, and I have been married 49 years. We have 7 kids and 7 grandkids. We were members of Holy Guardian Angels for years and members of St. Raymond’s since it began. Fr. Burkhart got me involved in church activities. I have been a Faith Formation teacher for 30 years and I really enjoy talking to kids. I am also a member of the Knights of Columbus. I am retired now and enjoy working on cars in my garage and gardening. My family means a lot to me and I enjoy spending time with them. Janet and I go to Adoration on Thursday nights. Spending quiet time with Jesus is a good way to get to know him. I like the way our parish has the Tabernacle in the center of the altar, and is a very friendly parish with a warm and welcoming atmosphere.
