Calvin Fitzpatrick

Father Calvin Fitzpatrick was a resident of Port Winston and a character on the daytime television soap opera ''Times of Passion. ''Stemming from an Irish family, Calvin befriended fellow Irishman Vernon Erwin and the two became close friends, celebrating St. Patrick's Day together every year. He served as the town clergyman of Port Winston for more than 40 years and eventually died of a stroke in 2000. He was succeeded by Rev. Samuel Brown.

In 1992, people started noticing Calvin's increased drinking and urged him to seek abstinence. Calvin declined, but Vernon approached the bishop during one of his visits. Calvin was eventually assigned a monitor, Reverend Gabriel Lipton, which led to a significant rift between Vernon and Calvin.

Reverend Gabriel was eventually revealed to be part of Corpus Divinus, a extremist Christian sect responsible for the abduction of infant Freddie Banks, and subsequently arrested. He then sought out rehab at the Karen Jameson clinic and was sober for the rest of his life, with Vernon serving him apple spritzer at his pub.
