The Franciscans have been a welcome part of the SPCCS family since 2015 with the arrival of Fr. Bill McIntyre and Fr. Frank Critch.

After Fr. Critch moved mission, we were blessed with the presence of Fr. John Coughlin, followed by Fr. Casey Cole who now ministers to our community as School Chaplin. Fr. Bill moved mission in 2023 after 8 wonderful years with us and now our pastor is Fr. Steven Patti.

We are blessed to have four friars living amongst us! Fr. Pat Tuttle and Fr. Casey Cole serve Holy Spirit Catholic Church. Fr. Steve Patti and Fr. Steven Pavagnano serve St. Peter Claver Catholic Church.  

There are many ways you can learn more about our friars. Click on the links below to see more about their mission. Father Casey has an online presence with Breaking in the Habit., Fr. Pat has a YouTube channel and they have a channel together called Upon Friar Review.
