Recently, we got a hold of this popular Catholic author, radio and EWTN host and learned more about this learned man. Seeing that he is planning his travels to Zionsville to spend an entire day of spiritual and faith enrichment with us, we thought we would share these fun facts about Partick:
Patron saint: St. Patrick (namesake and man of courage); St. Thomas Aquinas (scholarly example with the faith)
Most memorable holy site visited: the tomb of Peter in Rome
Would like to still travel to: Russia
Favorite breakfast: any breakfast shared with his wife; Southwestern menu of beans and tortillas, eggs with salsa, and a hot cup of coffee
Favorite family activity: outdoor barbecues, hanging out and listening to music
Era of intrigue: Civil War times
Hobby/talent: taking long walks and learning foreign languages
Biggest influence: in addition to Our Lord, St. Thomas Aquinas and St. Augustine
Family pets: two dogs - Charlie (male) and Lola (female)
