1. Austin Pillars of the City: Patricia K. Piper. Excerpt:
As a former nun and director of the Christian Education Center, Pat was often called upon to give the prayer to begin Senate sessions at the Minnesota State Capitol. Dean Johnson, Senate Minority Leader at the time, said, “They (her prayers) are refreshing and original. They bring about a serenity to the Senate chambers.” She was a master at working with others to get bills passed and was very influential while serving in the Legislature. She welcomed everyone who visited her at the Capitol, and she helped them learn about state government. Her office door was always open, and she loved giving her constituents tours of the Capitol building.(Submitted on November 2, 2023, by Cosmos Mariner of Cape Canaveral, Florida.)
