Fr. Patrick Burns grew up in Fox Point prior to moving to Mequon in the mid-1990s. He is the third of four children. After graduating from high school, Fr. Patrick went on to study for two years at Cardinal Stritch University. From there, he transferred to Loyola University in Chicago where he entered into college seminary. He completed a BA in philosophy in preparation for major (graduate level) seminary. His major seminary formation took place at St. Francis de Sales Seminary on the south side of Milwaukee. While there, he completed his Masters in Divinity from Sacred Heart School of Theology and provided ministry to St. Veronica Parish in Milwaukee. After Fr. Patrick was ordained a priest in May of 2013, he began his first assignment at St. Charles Parish in Hartland, Wisconsin. His time there was a great joy and a gift for him. He met many lifelong friends and learned many vital lessons on living out the priesthood today.
In 2016, Fr. Patrick enthusiastically took on his new assignment as associate pastor of St. Francis Borgia. In 2017, he was named administrator of the parish and in 2018 was named pastor. Fr. Patrick looks forward to helping the people of the parish and the community to come to know Christ more deeply every day.
