On May 22, 1999, I made my Promise at the Marian Shrine in Stony Point, NY and was happy to be there again as part of the 2021 Marian Day Team to celebrate my 22 nd anniversary as a Cooperator! I belong to the Goshen, NY Center and have served as Secretary on both the Local and Provincial Levels. I am grateful for the opportunity to be part of the Provincial Council again and look forward to my new role as Archivist. God has blessed me with a wonderful husband, two beloved daughters, and their goats! I live out my vocation within my family; as catechist, Coordinator of Live Stations of the Cross, and other ministries in my parish. I am a 4H Leader and have organized teen service projects through 4H, my parish, and local Catholic schools. I have mentored youth with developmental or learning disabilities, and worked as cook and substitute “mom” for alcoholics and addicts at a Crisis Center. The latter allowed me to bring the Light of God’s Love into some very dark places. For all these opportunities, I rejoice
