Fr. Pat Higgins Scholarship Awarded

Mary Petersen is Fr. Joseph "Pat" Higgins' sister, who had the idea of offering a yearly scholarship to honor her late brother and the former pastor of our parish. Fr. Pat loved The Servant Song and so scholarship applicants write an essay about the song and their involvement with our parish. Sara Gaab was able to meet Mary and Gary Petersen at the parish office on June 14. All are pictured here with a photo of Fr. Pat! Sara will attend UW-Eau Claire and plans to study elementary education in the fall. Congrats to Sara and thank you to Mary and Gary for offering this scholarship!
