When I moved back to Edina 25 years ago, my husband and I decided to join Our Lady of Grace even though we live just two doors down from St. Pat’s. The main driver at the time was how incredibly well OLG cared for my mom after my dad passed away. OLG provided support and programs for her that were impactful without her asking. It was an easy decision to want to join a parish that demonstrates its care of parishioners by reaching out to them.
OLG has been the center of our family’s faith and lives. Our daughter built her faith from preschool faith formation, K-8 school and high school faith groups all at OLG. She has celebrated all her sacraments so far at OLG. My husband has been an active member of the Men’s Club, and I have sung in choirs at OLG for over 20 years. Our closest friends are parents of OLG students and OLG parishioners.
I am a graduate of St. Catherine University and the University of St. Thomas and after many years in the financial services industry, I am working as an accounting consultant and CPA. I am looking forward to supporting the parish more intentionally through service on the Parish Council.
