Patty Duffy
 My
name is Patty Duffy. My joy and
passion has always been my family: my
husband, Jim; daughter Christine, who
is married and a physical therapist
living in San Jose; John, an
accountant living in San Jose; Megan,
a student attending San Jose State
University studying to be a teacher;
and our grandchild Kiera. All three of
our children attended Good Shepherd
Catholic School because it has always
supported Christian Catholic
values.
My
second joy and passion is teaching
first grade at Good Shepherd Catholic
School since 1995. I feel God's call
to help our young people appreciate
the gift of reading and share my faith
in Jesus. I have felt this calling
since a young person. I studied at San
Jose State College, acquiring
credentials to teach elementary and
special education. In addition, I have
accounting and secretarial degrees and
a catechist certificate for teaching
religion.
We
have attended Resurrection and St.
Joseph's Catholic Communities since
the 1970's. They are both very loving
communities that have strengthened our
faith and guided our family values in
raising our children. I am guided in
life by a central, humbling and
unifying question - What would Jesus
do?
