"I ran for parish council out of love for those that comprise the church family.  Along with my wife's and two boys' involvement in the church, I am personally drawn to getting the youth involved in the church. The teachings of our faith provide a compass for the youth to navigate the world they live in. I feel the younger generations are key to keeping our faith and church alive and thriving. It is vitally important to me that our church leadership and community provide a place where the door is always open for faith, compassion, and love for all of the parishioners."
