Elder Patrick Caeron was born in Carlisle, England on July 18, 1961 and has served as a member of the 12 apostles of the 12 apostles of Jesus Christ since December 7, 2023.
While working in Laguna, California, I introduced the Gospel. Elder Caeron later met a missionary on the streets of London, England, and was baptized in 1987 on Christmas Eve.
Elder Kealon attended schools in Saudi Arabia and the UK. He and his wife owned a communications consultant until his call as president of the 70. Before his call as an apostolic, Elder Kealon served as senior presidents of 70 presidencies.
