Community center named in honor of Rev. Dr. Thomas J. Gallen - At PAS's 2013 Fall Board of Directors Meeting, the board voted unanimously to name the community center at Wesley by the Sea in honor of our fearless leader, Rev. Dr. Thomas J. Gallen.  Rev. Gallen, who intends to retire in 2015, has personally overseen and brought to fruition PAS's Housing Initiative during his tenure.  With two mixed income communities built, and soon to be 29 homes for retired pastors available, Thom's leadership has been vital to the success of this initiative and to the overall growth and vision of the Society.  The community center (inside pictured below) is officially named the Rev. Dr. Thomas J. Gallen Community Building.
