Dear Friends,

It is with both sadness and honor that I invite you to celebrate the life and contributions of Pat Flood, AAIM's first Executive Director. As we mourn his passing and extend our love and prayers to his family, let us rejoice in all that Pat has done for the Austin community.

Pat Flood and AMM/AAIM

This project later evolved into the present-day organization, Austin Area Interreligious Ministries (AAIM). Pat served as AAIM's first Executive Director, a position he successfully maintained for 14 years. His ability to connect with people, his strong passion for social justice issues, and his years of success working with interfaith projectects are the foundation on which we stand today.

Pat was directly responsible for creating, influencing, and inspiring AAIM's programs that address social issues, including Hands on Housing and Austin's Cold Weather Shelter. He was instrumental in introducing a religion column in the Austin American-Statesman (now "Austin Faith Pages", with an accompanying online blog). Here contributing writers from Austin's faith communities are able to share their views and inform the community on issues affecting Central Texas.

For these accomplishments and for all that he has given to the Austin community, AAIM honored Pat Flood with a Lifetime of Hope Award in 2007.

Continuing the Legacy

Pat's gentle spirit and commitment to fostering relationships lives on in the programs he initiated at AAIM. To help this legacy continue, the Flood family has requested that all who wish to honor Pat please do so by making a donation to AAIM in lieu of purchasing flowers.

A wake will be held on Thursday, 6:30 pm, at the Weed-Corley-Fish Funeral Home, and a funeral service will be held Friday, 2:00 pm, at St. John Newman Church.
