Bishop Patrick spent time on his first full day as bishop doing something quintessentially Minnesotan: ice fishing! Fr. Scott Pogatchnik’s father and brother hosted the bishop and some visiting friends at an area lake. “We all loved it!” Bishop Patrick said. #newbishop #onlyinminnesota #catholicbishop #icefishing #icefishingminnesota #welovemn
