Ms. Ann Boltz Pastoral Associate

Ann joined our team in March of 2004 as the Pastoral Associate.

"I've been blessed with six children, 25-35, and five grandchildren. My spirituality is deeply rooted in my being a Mom and a "nana." This is my twentieth year in parish ministry. On many levels, it's a blessing. One of my favorite ministries here is the ministry to the sick and shut-ins. Worship, Bereavement, Women's Spirituality, Parish School of Religion and Evangelization are some of the other areas of my responsibility. In addition to my work here, I am a freelance presenter and Retreat Director. My plan is to stay here until retirement. I love this faith community!"
