Hello Everyone!

I want you to know how excited I am to be with you here at St. Matthew!  I have been married to my husband, Jason, for 15 years and we have three children: Connor (13), Amelia (10, and Bryn (7).  We live in Sanford and attend St. Thérèse of Lisieux Parish.  I am currently working towards a Master’s Degree in Theology from Saint Leo University in Saint Leo, FL, and am due to graduate next May. 

My studies have deepened my love of God and opened up the depth of Catholicism to me.  We are so blessed to be able to participate in the Sacraments and share in God’s love.  I am excited to participate in the life of the parish with you, to feel each other’s spirits, and to share God’s love with others.

While I see the enormity of the shoes I must fill with Deacon Paul’s retirement, he has left us with a strong foundation on which to build.  We will begin programs for children through adults beginning in September, so be sure to check future bulletins for details.  COVID or not, we will press forward in faith together!

I am looking forward to meeting each of you and working together to continue building the faith at St. Matthew!

Sincerely,
Jessica
