UUCTS Welcomes Rev. Patti Hanks
Pastor Patti, as she is known in the community, begins her ministry at Unitarian Universalist Church of Tarpon Springs in September 2024. Please join us in getting acquainted with Pastor Patti in our 10:30 am Sunday services, on September 1st and 8th.
Prior to entering the ministry, Pastor Patti worked as an adjunct professor for 3 years, and nonprofit management for 18 years, most recently as a director at Interfaith Hospitality Network and Habitat for Humanity, as well as the Executive Director at Clothes To Kids, Inc. in Pinellas and Hillsborough Counties.
Pastor Patti has Master of Divinity and Master of Communication degrees, with research in UU Studies and organizational models. She was ordained in June 2024 at Unitarian Universalists of Clearwater, Florida, where she served as their ministerial intern.
Pastor Patti lives in St. Petersburg with her husband Mike and two doggies, Chica and Manny. She loves to study, sit in the garden and pull weeds, and take long, long walks around the bay. Patti especially loves being the “mum” of four children and “muma” to five glorious grandchildren.
