Hi, my name is Deacon Dave Cresswell. I am a Permanent Deacon serving at St Patrick's and was ordained in June 2017. I serve the parish for baptisms, as a witness to Sacrament of Matrimony, serve at funerals, assist the priest at Mass, and preach periodically. I also enjoy serving in the Knights of Columbus and in the Social Concerns Ministry. I married my wife Rosie in 1989, and we have 5 children: Grace, Nora, Sean, Anthony, and Philip. Rosie and I serve as mentors to engaged couples preparing for Matrimony in Wyandotte County. I work as an IT Specialist outside of my ministry at the parish.
