Course Facilitator Details

Location: Cleveland, Ohio, United States

I am a member of the Congregation of St. Joseph based in Cleveland, Ohio. I received a B.S.E. from St. John College of Cleveland followed by a Master's Degree in Religious Education. I then pursued my Master Catechist certification as well as a certificate in Pastoral Ministry. After teaching on the elementary level for 15 years, I served as a Consultant for Catechist Formation and Certification for the Cleveland Diocese for 7 years. I then became a Director of Religious Education in 2 large parishes for a combined 11 years, and a Pastoral Associate responsible for adult faith formation in another parish for 9 years. My favorite ministry for a combined 20 years has been with the RCIA. I retired after 10 years as Coordinator of the Cleveland CSJ Associate program, and 2025-2026 will be my 17th year as a VLCFF facilitator.
