I am grateful for the opportunities I have in this position to serve God’s people and to work with such generous volunteers. I find God keeps challenging us to stretch our vision and use our gifts and talents in new ways.
As the parish nurse, I strive to facilitate the healing mission of the church by providing (free!) preventative care and health education to our congregation and community (all ages) and by integrating faith and health. As a parishioner and mom of four, I appreciate being close to my own children and all the children attending school here at St. Joseph's, and I enjoy connecting with families through the Elizabeth Ministry and other faith activities. I want all to feel the healing presence of God! "...To give of one's self, one's time; to share one's skills and abilities; to share one's possessions, according to need, that is the way of the future for us all." ~His Excellency, The Most Reverend Marcel A.J. Cervais, S.T.D.
As the Director of Lifelong Faith Formation, I bring a love of learning and appreciation forthe Word of God. I get excited learning and understanding more of God’s love letter to us—the Bible.
I love seeing all of the great gains my students make in 9 short months. They go from not reading or writing to reading chapter books and writing and illustrating their own stories! It is a great sense of accomplishment for them and for me too!!
As the fifth grade teacher, I believe that I prepare my students for the Middle School and beyond by teaching them how to make good faith decisions for their future.
As the phy. ed. teacher I hope to serve as a role model for my students in what it means to live a healthy lifestyle. We need to be thankful for and respectful to the bodies we were given by God. In computer class I will guide students in appropriately using technology as a resource and learning tool.
As the Daycare Director, I utilize my knowledge and experience in Early Childhood Education to assist my staff with creating a Christian learning environment for our children.
