My husband Eugene and I have three children and seven grandchildren.  I have served the parishes for over 32 years as Catechist, Eucharistic Minister, Lector, Usher, Board and Council member. I was Commissioned by Bishop Banks in 2002 and attended Silver Lake College and graduated from St. Norbert College. I feel blessed to be able to serve the people of our three parishes, each has a special place in my heart. I am a lifelong member of Assumption B.V.M. Church. My husband’s home church is St. Stanislaus, and my parents were married at St. Casimir (my dad’s home parish). I am always blessed to be a part of the sacramental life of our parishioners no matter where the journey we call life is taking them. Call me anytime – you are a blessing to me. Peace!
