Reflection
My wife and I moved into the neighborhood in 2003 and joined St. Tarcissus parish.
Our four daughters all attended St. Tarcissus and Pope Francis Global Academy.
I have been involved with St. Tarcissus school on the school board and coaching track and cross country. I have been involved with the parish as a member of the
Holy Name Society and Eucharistic Minister.
Involvement with school and parish have been very rewarding and fulfilling. I have met many great people and forged many lasting friendships.
I have had my own struggles with the Catholic Church in recent years, but I always try to remember that people are not perfect and God always has a plan. God’s message is eternal and as long as I continue to attend church, follow the word of God and help others, things will be ok.
The merger of St. Tarcissus, St. Thecla, and St. Cornelius has left some scars for people, but we all have the same goal to be more like Christ and provide a solid Catholic education and foundation for every generation.
I hope to continue helping the community and growing in Christ.
