The Foundation would like to especially thank John Coughlin and his wife Pat ’ s unwavering devotion to their parish , St . Mary Star of the Sea . Joh recently shared with GB Magazine , “ In honor of my wife , Pat , recently deceased , I wanted to create a new endowment to support the good works of my parish , St . Mary Star of the Sea . I appreciate the hard work and the partnership with the Catholic Community Foundation of San Diego to ensure that the distributions from our family endowment will always serve the poor . While I am alive , I intend to make annual contributions to grow the endowment . When God decides it is my time to come home , I intend to leave a portion of my estate to further support this fund . My hope is that others will contribute to this fund as well .”
