I have been a parish member of Sacred Heart for 51 years. I was Baptized, received my First Reconciliation, HolyCommunion and Marriage here at Sacred Heart. My confirmation was at a small CatholicParish in Kilkenny Minnesota. I am currently on the Parish Fest Committee, Parish Council, Youth Group Committee, Worship Committee and lead decorator for the church. I have been married for almost 13 years and have 7 children. My son Nathan who passed away in 2017, Brielle 17, stepson Bobby 17 and Abby 19. I have 3 stepsons from a previous marriage as well, Jason 28, Cody 26 and John who passed away in 2017.In my free time I enjoy spending time with my family and friends. We take our annual trip to Minnesota to visit family, go up north in the summer and do a lot of swimming at different beaches and pools.When I am at home I spend a lot of time outside in the summer gardening, sitting out on our back patio and of course taking care of our 4 chickens! I have grown stronger in my faith each year because of the many challenges life has brought me. I look forward to my new position as Administrative Assistant/Parish Secretary of Sacred Heart and excited to start this new chapter of my life with my parish family.
