Meet Your Saint Anselm Parish Council 

The members of the Saint Anselm Parish Council are dedicated to serving their fellow parishioners to make Saint Anselm Parish a faith-filled, dynamic example of Christ’s church.  An important part of their responsibilities is being open to hear the voices of those whom they serve.

This Parish Council Directory will introduce you to the council members who are here to represent your interests. It also provides contact information for each member so that you can easily reach a Council member to express any questions, concerns or ideas you have regarding activities here at Saint Anselm.

Please enjoy learning a little about each member and do not hesitate to contact them if needed. They ask only that you respect their personal time and do not call after 9 p.m.
