I grew up in Bethpage, received my Bachelor of Arts degree in Education from Hofstra University, a Master of Arts in Liberal Studies from Stony Brook University, and a Master of Arts in Theology from the Seminary of the Immaculate Conception. Prior to coming to St. Anthony’s, I served as Director of Religious Education at St. Patrick Church in Smithtown, St. Aidan Church in Williston Park, and as Religious Education Coordinator for Special Education at St. Joseph Church in Ronkonkoma. My husband Walter and I have two children: Walter who is a priest of our diocese, and our daughter Christine who has given us two grandchildren.
