Mission Monday: Staff Spotlight — Patti!
This Mission Monday, we’re shining the spotlight on Patti, our Community Engagement & Operations Manager!
Patti helps keep Catherine’s House running smoothly while overseeing daily operations, engaging volunteers, building meaningful community partnerships, and assisting with fundraising initiatives and special events that support the women and children we serve.
When asked what she loves most about her job, Patti didn’t hesitate: the women.
“Watching someone arrive feeling defeated and overwhelmed, then seeing her leave with confidence, purpose, and a plan for the future reminds me every day why Catherine’s House exists. Those transformations never get old.”
Some of Patti’s favorite moments happen during holidays and special events at Catherine’s House, when she gets to see our community surround the women and children with love, encouragement, and support.
“There’s something so special about seeing the happiness it brings them to know they are loved and cared for.”
Outside of Catherine’s House, Patti is currently planning a dream trip to Okinawa, Japan, where she’ll visit her daughter and son-in-law, who will be stationed there with the Marines. 🇯🇵✈️
We are so grateful for all Patti does to connect our residents, volunteers, staff, and community together. Thank you, Patti, for helping make Catherine’s House a place where women and children know they are supported, valued, and loved!
