Saint Patrick Catholic Church

I have served as a lector for 10 years. This year, I had the opportunity to be in the famous "Sacred Seven" choir. I also played basketball with the Lady Wildcats for a year! This year I will be helping teach in the Faith Formation classes. Share some of your favorite memories of being a member of St. Patrick. I have made so many memories here, but... one of my favorites would be going through RCIA classes and seeing some of my closest friends become Catholic. My boyfriend, Matthew Box, was recently baptized, confirmed, and received Holy Communion. Getting to go through this beautiful process with him and seeing how much he loves his faith will always bring a smile to my face. What St. Patrick people have touched your life (current or past members)? Over the years, so many different people have touched my life. One of them was my mother, Lisa Dougherty. She was the one to always bring me to Faith Formation classes and she instilled in me the love that I have for Christ, and His Holy Catholic Church. Now tell us about your name! My full name is India Anna Grace Dougherty, so my middle name is Anna Grace, and my first name is India! I was always called Gracie in school and everywhere else. My mom gave me the name because it used to be a very popular southern name back in the day. When I started going to UAB, I always went by my first name so it wouldn't be confusing, and I honestly fell in love with it. It is such a beautiful name so I thought I should use it in everyday life as well. Now, if you have called me Gracie all your life, you can still call me that. I don't care!
