⧉ Meet our Church Relations Officer

For the past 20 years, Pat Rasile has immersed himself in helping our clients maximize CPG’s products, programs, and services. He talks about the new role he assumed in March 2024 as Senior Vice President, Engagement.

Moving On Up
Starting 20 years ago in the call center, I honed my skills and strengths to transition through several roles of increasing responsibility and influence. With this new position, I saw an opportunity to have a greater impact on both our employees and those we serve. This role provides more client-facing interactions, allowing me to have a deeper understanding of their needs, and that’s exciting.

My team and I engage clergy, lay employees, beneficiaries, other Church leadership, and CPG colleagues, providing tools and resources so they have the knowledge and awareness to make the right choices in their interactions with CPG and toward their overall well-being.

Constant Change
In a world of constantly changing needs, I am dedicated to ensuring that our clients have the right tools to enhance their financial, physical, and emotional well-being. Whether through webinars, conferences, or online retirement calculators, we continue to address clients’ and colleagues’ different working and learning styles.

Natural Curiosity
I have a natural curiosity and a love for learning new things—variety is the key to life. I’m also tuned in to my financial, physical, and emotional wellness. Working at CPG and in this role allows me to fully embrace my work and apply it on both ends of my spectrum—as an employee and as an Episcopalian. It helps me understand more about the Church and the people in it.
