"I have prayerfully considered and feel called to serve the parish council. I believe that I have the experience, dedication and time to offer Father Remi a local perspective to assist him as he leads St. Thomas parish.  I am an honest, hard working, and passionate individual who tries to practice the faith that convereted my entire life 35 years ago.  I will do my best to see that the intention of the parish council by-laws are adhered to as we serve our parish with the utmost integrity and devotion to the will of God."
