Patricia Neal

Patricia "Patti" Neal is married to Dr. Tom Neal, Chief of Evangelization for the Diocese of Pensacola-Tallahassee. They have four adult children and one grandchild and recently moved to Pensacola from the New Orleans area. The Neals consider the Diocese of P-T to be their home as they met, married and had their children in Tallahassee.

Patti earned a BA in Religious Studies and a Masters in Social Work while also taking classes in voice and choral conducting, all at FSU, to feed her love and passion for liturgical music ministry. She served as the director of music at the Co-Cathedral of S.t Thomas More for 18 years and subsequently held the same position in parishes in Des Moines, AI and New Orleans, LA.

Patti is grateful for the warm welcome she has already received here at Nativity and is excited to begin working with the clergy, staff and parishioners here tohelp build up the body of Christ through sung prayer and praise of our God.
