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.

Carol Hoffman: I have been a core team member for almost a year now. My husband John and I live in Novi and are members of St James Parish. We have a 21-year-old son who is in his senior year at Michigan State University. I have been a Eucharistic minister for many years and more recently a wedding planner at St. James.

I first became involved at St. Priscilla’s when my brother, Jim, became pastor. Last summer my husband and I celebrated our 25th wedding anniversary and renewed our wedding vows here at St. Priscilla’s.

I want to thank you for allowing me to be part of the parish and the teen group. I have enjoyed getting to know both the teens and the other core team members and I look forward to learning more from the teens this year.

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.

Jennifer Frush: (coming soon)

Chad Stolly: My wife, Karen, and I are new members to the Saint Priscilla family. We are both originally from Ohio and currently reside in Livonia. We feel truly blessed to be a part of such a welcoming and energetic community, and feel especially grateful for the way the Church has welcomed our son, Nathaniel.

Upon registering, I joined Teen Life; it was a very natural way to get involved, considering that I’m a high school teacher in Ypsilanti. I’m excited to help the Parish in any way that I can and share gift of my faith with our young people. 

Jeremy Ramsden: I enjoy playing baseball and helping out with Miracle League, a league for the mentally handicapped. I also enjoy fishing and hunting. I plan to attend college for sound engineering

Why I chose to become a core member: we all need help if facing the challenges that life puts in front of us everyday. With a strong moral understanding of what to do when faced with these challenges we can be prepared to make the right decisions. I came to help our teens (to the best of my ability) with these challenges and to give and gain knowledge.
