Irish Tenor Paddy Homan Will Sing at the 31st Annual Prayer Breakfast

     Irish tenor Paddy Homan will sing at the 31st annual Arlington Heights Mayor’s Prayer Breakfast on Thursday, February 1, 2018, from 7:00-9:00 AM at the Doubletree Hotel, 75 Algonquin Road, Arlington Heights (just west of Arlington Heights Road).  

     The event also features a breakfast buffet, scripture readings, music, and a keynote address by Kari (Tanana) Olson, a mother with an inspiring story about going completely deaf and how her faith and the community helped her as she eventually regained her hearing with cochlear implants.

      Homan is a professional Irish tenor who performs throughout the United States.  A born entertainer, Paddy adds a layer of warmth and familiarity to his performances, bringing the audience not just closer to the music, but welcomes them into a unique Irish experience. Paddy’s quick-witted, Cork humor and spontaneity on the stage gave birth to the nickname Paddy “The Show-Man-Homan.”  Homan’s web site www.paddyhoman.com provides an opportunity to hear some of his work.

     Homan says: "It's all about connecting with people, be it on stage in the songs I sing, or in trying to make a positive difference in our daily work with seniors and the communities we serve. My faith is an integral part of this.”  Homan credits his faith as a guiding light both in his own life and in serving seniors at Lutheran Life Communities.

     In addition to being a talented musician, Paddy Homan, works as the Corporate Giving / Foundation Regional Director with Lutheran Life Communities.  He is a Social Work graduate of University College Cork, Ireland, with an MA from De Paul University (Philanthropy). He has served with Lutheran Life Communities since 2011. His prior work experience includes six years in Geriatric Case Management in Chicago, specializing in adult care protection, direct caregiver recruitment, training and supervision. Prior to that, he was a child welfare social worker in Ireland.
