About pat
The Patricia Siviski Music Endowment Fund was established in 2007 to honor the memory of a beloved choir director at Sacred Heart Parish. Music, faith and sharing were at the heart of Pat Siviski’s life. She brought these gifts to Sacred Heart Church in Yarmouth in 1984 when she became Director of Music Ministry. She built a thriving music program, establishing four choirs involving singers and musicians of all ages and skill levels.
Pat lived a life shaped by music, faith, family, and a profound love for community. Her joyful spirit, radiant smile, and gift for bringing people together through song continue to inspire all who knew her.
