This is Mike’s second appointment to the Pastoral Council. He served for four years with a previous Council. One of the things he likes best about serving on the Pastoral Council is being involved in changes that help our parish. He encourages anyone who is thinking about joining the Pastoral Council to pursue it because, “You get back way more than you give.”
Mike brings more than 30 years’ experience in Human Resources as well as extensive service to our parish community to his work with the Pastoral Council. His volunteer leadership experience includes serving as the Vice Chair for the H.S.A. (Home School Association) and as Chair of the School Board. He’s also served on the parish Stewardship Team for several years and on several fundraising committees for the church and school. And, some of our long-term members may remember Mike from our parish fair days, as he and his wife ran the prize booth for 10 years!
Mike and his wife have two sons who were in the first two classes at St. Raphael Catholic School. When he isn’t working or volunteering at St. Raphael Mike enjoys playing golf, racquetball, and cards. He and his wife also enjoy going to the beach and the mountains.
When asked about one thing that people would be surprised to learn about him, Mike said, “There is not much people do not know because I am an open book.”
