From Jeff:

Hello, I am Jeff Farthing, your new Parish Life Director. I am the eldest son of parishioners, Gerry and Grace, husband of Pamela (Tynan), father to Matthew, Rebecca (husband Cody) and Mikeal and grandfather to Isaiah, Thomas, Christopher, and David.

I recently retired from teaching, where I spent most of career at St. Joseph High School. While teaching Christian Ethics/Catholic Studies and coaching basketball and volleyball at school and basketball and football in the community, I obtained my master’s degree in Religious Education.

I enjoy spending time with my family and playing golf and basketball. I also enjoy watching Star Wars movies and listening to Christian music, especially Toby Mac.

I believe my background and experiences will help me to be an effective parish life director. I am passionate about living and sharing my faith with others. I look forward getting to know all of you and I feel fortunate to be able to serve in this parish.
