Lee Flaherty: My husband, Tim, and I live in Livonia
and have been members of St. Priscilla parish for about nine years. During that
time, I have served two terms on the Parish Council and am currently the chairperson
of the Council. I have been a lector and an extraordinary minister of the Eucharist
for several years, and an adult volunteer with our Youth Group since last fall.
I have also helped put on several of the Christ Renews His Parish weekends, and
I volunteer in a number of small ways from time to time.
Outside of the parish,
I’m a long-time member of the Christian Legal Society and the Farmington/Farmington
Hills Optimist Club, and I currently serve on the Boards of Directors of both these
organizations. I also do occasional volunteer work for the AAA Crisis Pregnancy
Center in Livonia. My favorite things to do in my free time are gardening, reading
and relaxing on our patio.
Over the years, I’ve come to cherish my parish family
at St. Priscilla. I feel very fortunate to have been a part of so many good things
going on in our parish, but one of the things I love most is being with the teens.
Thank you, parents, for sharing them with me!
Joe Zeniewicz: I've been a member of
this parish for over thirty years. At one time or another I've served on the parish
council and most of the various committees. I taught religious ed for a few years
and did the liturgy of the word with children for about 12 years. Outside of the
parish I have worked with youth in various capacities from little league coach (17
years), scouting, Indian Guides and some tutoring and mentoring through the school
system. The last time I worked with youth in this age group (high school) was when
I was in service where I worked out high school youth program with the base Chaplin
-- but that was a looooooong time ago! Since that time I've worked mostly with younger
children. This will almost be like a new experience for me.
Carol Chronicle: I have been a Core Team member since November 2006. I am
married and have two boys ages 22 & 25. Before becoming a Core member I volunteered
my time teaching adults how to read at the Sienna Literacy Center at Bishop Borgess.
I have always found immense pleasure being with young adults so it seemed clear
to me to switch gears and join the youth ministry team. This is very fulfilling
for me and has definitely helped me grow in my faith.
Mark Yokom: I came to St. Priscilla in 2005 after the closing of St.
Agatha in Redford. In 2007 I completed RCIA and became Catholic. What a great
joy to go to the Lord’s Table! As the youth are the future of the church, I am honored
to volunteer in youth ministry in addition to serving on the parish council. My
family consists of my wife Rosemary and our children Amy, Kelli and Matthew. My work keeps me busy in the golf industry as a Store
Manager/Buyer in Livonia.
