Mr. Duffy was the original "pay it forward" guy. Now we know what to call it...

"Those we love don't go away; they walk beside us every day. Unseen, unheard, but always near; still loved, still missed and very dear" - Alex MacLean

This year, the Saint Patrick Catholic School Student Government Association (SGA) fundraised to purchase a memorial bench in honor of Mr. Duffy. Mr. Duffy had such an impact on those who had the pleasure of meeting and knowing him! In a small ceremony including Mr. Duffy’s family, as well as Saint Patrick Catholic School students, faculty, and staff, Father Ziegler blessed this memorial bench. A physical reminder to us all that we can “Do like Duffy” and leave our community a better place than the way we found it!

"Let us not mourn these people, but rather let us try to emulate their lives...They are not lost, but only went ahead." — St. Gregory Palamas

There is at least one local troop of Trail Life USA. If you have growing sons, check them out! And their sister organization, American Heritage Girls is also amazing.

"One of the most important things Trail Life does is give boys earned accomplishment in an environment that’s challenging, where they may fail, and where they’re expected to get back up. You’re preparing men for the world — because when he gets out there, nobody hands him a participation check."
- Nick Freitas | Former VA Delegate
