An integrated group from a number of tribes and the Centers for Disease Control, together with Sister Pat, opened a center, Boma la Tumaini (House of Hope) which was dedicated on World Aids Day, December 1, 2004. Sister worked as the overall administrator of the Boma la Tumaini's HIV-AIDS program. Sister Pat was elected District Superior of Medical Mission Sisters in East Africa in 1992 and again District Coordinator in 1995. She spent her last years in Africa working with Friends Fighting AIDS Together (FRIFAT), a support group of 60 HIV-positive persons that meet weekly for classes, sharing and celebrations. After 52 years of mission in Africa, Pat repatriated to the US in 2012, where she remained until her death. Relatives and friends are invited to Sister Pat's Funeral Mass on Friday, November 3, 2017 at the Medical Mission Sisters Chapel, 8400 Pine Road, Philadelphia, PA.
