Cincinnati, Ohio, United States
Since retiring from TPC Packaging Solutions in April of 2020, God has blessed me with wonderful opportunities to go and proclaim the gospel of the Lord. I have been able to devote more time and effort to my ministries at my local parish, Good Shepherd Catholic Church, in Symmes Township. As a Catechist in our Rite of Christian Initiation for Adults ministry, I have been able to help teach adults who would like to become Catholic about the beliefs, teachings and practices of our one, universal, apostolic Catholic Church. I have been blessed to distribute the precious body, blood, soul and divinity of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, in the Holy Eucharist to my brothers and sisters during Holy Mass at our parish and to the Catholic patients at our local hospital, Bethesda North, as an Extraordinary Minister of Holy Communion. I have been entrusted to serve as a Communion Service Presider at our 7:00 a.m. Communion Services at Good Shepherd. I have also been privileged to serve at Holy Mass--at times as a Lector, Thurifer, Sacristan and Eucharistic Minister. I am now able to be more active in the Sanctity of Life Ministry at our parish, and in the Cincinnati Right to Life Movement, speaking for the innocent unborn who have no voice.
