AVE MARIA CATHOLIC CHURCH
February 1st, 2025
HONORING BILL & PAT LAMOTHE
IN MEMORIAM
The extraordinary lives of Bill and Pat have shaped the foundation of Ave Maria Town. Bill and Pat were convinced that “people desperately need to be inspired by faith and religious beauty in art and sacred music.” Bill, Pat, and the LaMothe family have been apostles of sacred liturgy and music in Ave Maria Parish and beyond. Moreover, Bill and Pat’s commitment to Catholic education and their support of our parish school, Donahue Academy, have also been part of their vocation to pave “God’s Road to Heaven” for the young. We are grateful for their lives and honored to celebrate them!
