Our activities department not only provides many opportunities for our members to stay active, but there are also a number of special services offered. And when the weather is warm, St Pat is abuzz with activities outside, too – including dance and exercise, specialty sales and more.

These are just a few of the offerings available:

  • Over a dozen dance and movement classes, including beginning and advanced Hustle, Belly Dance, Chicago Step, Ballroom, Tai Chi, Zumba Gold, Chair Exercise, Enhance Fitness, Matt Yoga and Chair Yoga
  • Conveniences like Wednesday haircuts, mens and womens clothing rooms, and periodic yard sales
  • Computer training in our own second floor computer lab. St. Pat has long been at the forefront of helping seniors enhance their computer skills
  • Craft-making and other artistic endeavors
  • Our very own gospel choir, which performs to wide acclaim
