It is with great sorrow and a heavy heart that we announce the passing of our friend, family, and long time Hope House employee Deacon Patrick Gerace.

Deacon Pat worked at Hope House for many years facilitating numerous groups and providing spiritual direction to countless men in our program.

He always wore a smile, and was willing to provide a hug and words of encouragement to anyone who needed it. He brought laughter and love to our days and fostered deep relationships with all who knew him. His unwavering faith guided him to truly live the life God intends for us all.

He will always be remembered for his dedication, continuous kindness, and love for all our residents and staff.

Deacon Pat will be greatly missed but never forgotten.

As we continue on, we pray for his peaceful acceptance into God’s Kingdom while continuing to keep his wife, family and friends in our prayers.

We Love You Deacon!
