Saint Paul Saints Game Book Signing

Friday, September 12, 2025

It was Teacher Appreciation Night, and Pat was at the game signing books and greeting Saints fans! All book sale proceeds that evening were donated to ServeMinnesota—an incredible organization that strengthens communities across our state through high-impact AmeriCorps programs. Their mission is close to Pat's heart—he got his start in public service as a VISTA volunteer with Catholic Charities back in 1989, where he worked with those living at the Saint Anthony Residence. That’s where Pat first heard the incredible true story that inspired A Season on the Drink.
