I am a Chicago native, born in Pilsen and currently residing in Mt. Greenwood. My late husband, Joe, and I raised our daughter, Karin, and son, Colin in that area. Joe was a school engineer for many years at Bell School, so we have some knowledge of the “North Side,” and we are Cubs fans. I hold a bachelor’s degree in music education from De Paul (emphasis: piano) and a master’s in church liturgy and organ from St. Joseph’s College in Rensselaer, Indiana. Thank you so much for your kind words and welcoming manner. I will try my best to foster prayerful worship and liturgy as we move forward into this new year. |
