If you hear the YC music…you’ll see Jeff & Kim Pautz! When you attend any musical event at York Catholic, you are assured to witness Jeff & Kim hard at work to make your entertainment experience enjoyable. They tirelessly volunteer their time at football games running the concession stand, at performances keeping the snack bar stocked, and at marching band competitions and parades moving equipment and chaperoning. In short, we couldn’t do it without them. Thank you to Jeff & Kim for always giving your heart to York Catholic.
A Deacon in the Catholic Church assists the parish in worship assistance, pastoral care and community service. York Catholic helped to “plant the seed” of service in this way with James Koch ’79, who selflessly went on to become a deacon at St. Patrick’s Church in York.
