That would be the founder of Family Rosary (which Catholic Mom is now a part of) and Family Theater Productions: Venerable Patrick Peyton. Father Pat's miraculous recovery from tuberculosis and subsequent quest to do the will of the Blessed Mother, which is always to lead people closer to her Son, Jesus, is a legacy and mission we are proud to share and to continue!
