It is with deep sadness that I received the news of the passing of Father Patrick.
Father Patrick was deeply loved and highly appreciated by all ofus. Through the years, he left a remarkable and lasting impact on the Papal Office for Projects through his kindness, sincerity, compassion, and faithful dedication. He was a true friend and a valued partner whose presence brought encouragement, hope, and genuine Christian love to many.
His blessed life and faithful service will always remain remembered with gratitude and affection. We will always cherish his beautiful spirit and the meaningful relationship we shared with him.
In this time of sorrow, I extend my heartfelt condolences to Mrs. Rosemary, TBF Trust Team and to all who mourn the loss of Father Patrick. I pray that our Lord grants you comfort, peace, and strength, and that He repose his pure soul in the heavenly peace of His Kingdom.
With sincere sympathy and prayers,
Pope Tawadros II
Pope of Alexandria and Patriarch of the See of St. Mark
