St. Jude Parish has felt like home for my husband, Tim, and I since we moved to Londonderry in 1997. After moving for many years as a military family, we’re fortunate to have settled in a town and community that we love! Married since 1987, Tim and I are blessed to be the parents of three children, Brendan, Caitlin and Erin. We also share our home with a schnoodle named Finn, who thinks he may be in charge.

I started working at St. Jude’s part time as an aide in the Office of Youth Ministry/Confirmation in 2002, when my youngest daughter was in preschool, and then worked in the Office of Faith Formation until 2006. In January, 2011, I returned to the Office of Youth Ministry/Confirmation before transitioning to my current position in the Office of Faith Formation. My job gives me an opportunity to meet many wonderful families and I’m always impressed with the dedication of the volunteers that assist in the faith formation of our students.
