A man smiling outdoors, wearing a blue cap and a light blue button-up shirt with his hands in his pockets, standing in front of trees and pink flowers.

David Patterson

FOUNDER & HOST OF YES CATHOLIC

David Patterson found renewed purpose after a powerful retreat in 2009 that led him back to the Catholic Church. This encounter inspired him to pursue a Master of Theological Studies at St. Augustine’s Seminary. He served in Youth Ministry for six years and now serves as a high-school chaplaincy leader. David founded Yes Catholic to share stories of people who said “yes” to Jesus and His Church. He lives in Toronto with his wife, and three children.
