Faith Formation

Meet Deb
Hi, I’m Deb, and I’m blessed to serve as the Pastoral Associate here at St. Thomas Aquinas Catholic Church. My journey in ministry has been a lifelong calling, and I’m passionate about creating opportunities for parishioners to grow in faith, connect with one another, and discover their unique gifts.
With over 40 of experience in liturgy, music, faith formation, sacramental preparation, OCIA, and parish programming, I’ve had the privilege of walking alongside individuals and families as they navigate their spiritual journeys. Whether it’s developing new programs, guiding our music ministry, or coordinating parish-wide initiatives, my goal is always to foster a welcoming, vibrant community.
A little more about me
- I’m a lifelong learner and enjoy reading, knitting, quilting, and learning Spanish. (I have a DuoLingo streak of 860 days and still going strong!).
- When I’m not at the parish, you’ll often find me spending time with my husband, connecting with friends (parishioners) over coffee, and bragging about my grandchildren.
- I’m passionate about supporting others through life’s challenges, brainstorming ways to accomplish goals and dreams, and finding ways to make things work.
I’m here to support you, answer your questions, and help you find your place in our parish community. Feel free to reach out—I’d love to connect!
