"As a parishioner at Our Lady's for approximately 20 years, I'm pleased to share my time and abilities serving on the Pastoral Council, leading a faith-sharing group, and helping with bereavement and other ministries. As an active Sister of the Good Shepherd, I bring the experience of serving in senior administrative positions in child welfare agencies in NYC and, in Boston, directly serving homeless families living with HIV/AIDS, most of whom were also living in recovery from substance use and as survivors of personal violence. I find spiritual nourishment participating in our parish and believe that it is important to contribute to help make what is good become even better. To do this, I welcome and encourage parishioners to share their comments, ideas, and observations so we can all work together in living our call to discipleship."
