In this inspiring episode of 'The Star 3rd Ward Podcast,' we delve into the remarkable journey of Pat and DeAnn Thomas and their significant roles in the construction of the Rome Temple. Their story is a testament to faith, dedication, and divine guidance.

Pat Thomas, serving as the landscape superintendent, was pivotal in bringing to life the vision of the temple's site plan and landscape architecture. His expertise and commitment ensured that the grounds of the temple would not only be beautiful but also a serene sanctuary reflecting the spirit of the sacred structure.

Sister DeAnn Thomas contributed in a vital public relations capacity, supporting the overall project and facilitating the visits of Church leaders. Her role was crucial in bridging communication between the Church, the community, and all stakeholders involved, ensuring that the project not only progressed smoothly but also fostered goodwill and understanding.

Together, Pat and DeAnn share their personal experiences and the challenges they faced during this monumental project. They reflect on the profound sense of the hand of the Lord guiding their efforts and the miraculous moments that underscored their service. This episode is not just about the construction of a temple but about building foundations of faith and the deep impact such service can have on individual lives and the broader community.

Join us for a conversation with the Thomases as they recount the spiritual journey of building not just one of the Church’s most significant structures but also their own lasting legacy of faith and dedication.
