Mary Y. Long

Long

Pastoral Associate from October 2007, Evangelization Coordinator from 1998; M.A. in Religion. I am the staff representative to the Ministry of Parish Community Life; I coordinate ministries such as the Parish Bible Study programs, the Welcome Team, the Military Moms Prayer Group, and "St. Patrick's Presents..." events, which draw the parish family together for community-building and spiritual growth opportunities. My focus is to keep our evangelization efforts moving forward, because sharing the Good News of Jesus Christ is the basis for everything that we do as a universal Church. I also represent our parish in Catholic Connected, the Vicariate parishes' partnership, and am involved with outreach ministries and ecumenical collaboration to promote unity in the community. My husband, Jim, and I have three sons, and my mom, Lee Yemma, blesses us with her presence in our home.
