Andrae Patenaude, or Father “Pat” as he is more commonly known when sporting his priestly collar, began his folksinging journey with 1971’s Amazing Day, a fine collection of 12-string folk originals. Simple string, brass and woodwind arrangements actually work to the album’s advantage, giving it an intelligent ‘60s AM pop edge. The orchestration was dropped on the less pop-ish Love One Another, which carries some of Andre’s best songs. ‘A Bright Star’ has an infectious organ-backed summery ‘Maggie May’ groove, enlivened with sharp acoustic guitar leads. Organ is also used on the title track to a light psych effect, the tempo shifting back and forth from a slow minor-key theme to a more forceful rock mood. My Life reminds me of the later melodic pop-edged folk style of Ray Repp. Six and twelve-string guitar, some piano, flute, female background singers, sometimes a light rock beat. I especially enjoyed the moving acoustic ballads ‘Peace’ and ‘He Is’. Interesting synthesizer accompanying the edgier ‘My God’. Ride The Morning Wind makes greater use of piano for a rich lyrical soft rock and ballads style similar to Adrien Snell. Christmas At LaSalette is a likeminded studio recording that consists mostly of original material, although some songs appeared in a different form on earlier lps. It’s a Christmas album obviously, but only contains a handful of standards: ‘Mary Had A Baby’, ‘Long Time Ago’ and ‘Holy Night’, the latter sung partially in French. Breath Of God utilizes piano and acoustic guitar within a very mellow setting of soft strings. (Ken Scott – The Archivist).

How many of you out there know the secret behind this priest´s healing hands? Yes, he wants to be a saint one day, lying to people about his gifted hands but he´s no natural born healer. His healing hands are Reiki hands!!!! You can only hide so much and the La Salette priests are no natural gifted people. They all use Reiki in their healing services but they never tell the truth when asked about it. They say it´s the Holy Spirit working through them. Bull shit!!! I´ts Reiki!!! It´s Reiki Pat!!!! Your hands are Reiki hands!!!!
