Mona became a parishioner of St. Michael Parish when she and her family moved to the Schererville area in 1987. In 2002, she joined the staff of St. Michael Parish as a part-time employee and serves as:

Editor of the parish bulletin

During her tenure, the bulletin expanded from 8 to its current 14 pages. Our involved and active parish community more than fill these additional pages.

Editor of St. Michael Website

Mona is responsible for keeping the information on the website up-to-date.

Director of the Children’s RCIA Process (Rite of Christian Initiation for Adults, with Adaptation for Children)

In 1997, Mona was asked to be the sponsor for two sisters whose family had recently moved to the Schererville area and had joined St. Michael Parish. Mona agreed to share her faith experiences by becoming their sponsor and has been hooked (as in “life altering” and “faith-enhancing”) on the RCIA Process ever since.
