Season 2 Episode 11: Professor Turned Pastor: Fr. Dan Pattee’s Journey
Lights, Catholic, Action!
Fr. Dan Pattee, TOR— pastor of St. Andrew Parish in Fort Worth —recounts a faith-rooted childhood in Minnesota, a vocational pivot from pre-med to the Franciscan Third Order Regular, years teaching systematic theology at Franciscan University, and what distinguishes the TOR order from others. He spotlights St. Andrew’s forthcoming “Our Lady, Star of the Sea” center, urges college students (including nearby TCU) to “listen” for God’s call, and shares a Marian devotion and favorite verse—Proverbs 24:16—as anchors for living the Gospel in real time.
