Anne Attea
Director of Formation and Social Justice
I have a passion for sharing my faith while helping others to grow in their faith lives as individuals and as a part of our Catholic community. Coordinating faith formation and sacramental preparation for both our English-speaking and Spanish-speaking parishioners allows me to engage in leadership development with parish catechists and the opportunity to help create meaningful programs or events for our community. An important component of this work is promoting Catholic Social Teaching and social justice in the parish and beyond.

Patrick Cassidy
Music Director
I enjoy the rewards and challenges of creating a weekly musical tapestry mirroring our complex and richly diverse congregation! While my main focus is the 9:30 Sunday mass in English, I am in close collaboration with our Saturday English and Sunday 11:30 Spanish-speaking musicians. Our bilingual unity masses are a highlight!
