Kristine has been a member of St. Raphael since she was in junior high school, when she and her family moved from NY to Raleigh. This is her first year on the Pastoral Council, and she hopes to leverage her professional and volunteer experience to further our mission at St. Raphael. She has always wanted to serve on the pastoral council and feels that the Holy Spirit compelled her at this time to raise her hand and share her gifts with her church family. 

Kristine has a passion for data analytics and loves to use data to drive decision making.
She has a master’s degree in Microbial Biotechnology and is currently a full-time graduate student at NC State, working on her MBA.

As a young adult, Kristine was involved with bible study and other small, faith-formation groups at St. Raphael. She joined the reader ministry at that time, too, and has served as a reader during Mass for the better part of 20 years. Kristine shares, “I am very humbled and honored to participate in Mass and proclaim the word of God.” 

Kristine and her husband David were married in the St. Raphael chapel in 2008 surrounded by a small group of family and friends.

The St. Raphael parish has always been a part of Kristine’s life. She says it is “where I come when I want to be part of a community yet feel at home.” Her one wish for the St. Raphael community is that the Church could serve to bring us all closer to God and to each other.
