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 preache periodically.  I also enjoy serving in the Knights of Columbus and in the social concerns committee at St Patrick's.  I married my wife Rosie in 1989, and we have 5 children: Grace, Nora, Sean, Anthony, and Philip.  Dave and Rosie serve as mentors to engaged couples preparing for Matrimony in Wyandotte County.  I work as an IT Specialist for a software company in Kansas City, MO.
