Lenten Mission At St. Thomas The Apostle Church

March 4, 2024

Amarillo—Mission: I’m Possible, based on Luke 1:37, is the theme of a Lenten Mission now through Wednesday, March 6 at St. Thomas the Apostle Church, 4100 South Coulter.

Leading the mission is the Engagin’ Cajun, Mike Patin.

Based in Lafayette, La., Patin began his ministry career in 1984 as a high school teacher and coach. He shifted his talents to diocesan youth ministry for 13 years in New Orleans. Since 2003, he has been a fulltime speaker and self-described Faith horticulturist, who also refers to himself as a man of hope and a struggling disciple of the Risen Jesus. Patin has been a featured speaker at many national gatherings, including the National Catholic Education Association convention and the National Catholic Youth Conference. He has spoken on numerous occasions in the Diocese of Amarillo.

Patin has published two books: A Standing Invitation and This Was Not in the Brochure: Lessons from Work, Life and Ministry. In 2006, he was the recipient of the National Catholic Youth Ministry Award.

Patin’s presentations take place each evening at 7:00. On March 6, the final evening of the mission, the focus will be on youth, according to Bryan Webb, facility administrator at St. Thomas, who is coordinating the mission.
