Little did Gail know thirty years ago when she first stepped foot in St. Emily Church, how her life would be blessed beyond measure. With a Master of Arts in Pastoral Studies from Loyola and a Certificate of Studies in Lay Ecclesial Ministry from the University of St. Mary of the Lake Mundelein, Gail serves our parish as a Pastoral Associate.
She has worn a number of hats (as all our staff has done!) and currently ministers to those who are grieving. She is the on-call voice of our emergency phone line, seeking to reassure those in crisis.
As a Field Delegate for the Metropolitan Tribunal, Gail assists individuals seeking an annulment. She volunteers for Prisoner Visitation and Support, an organization authorized to visit the incarcerated at federal and military prisons. Gail also writes regularly for Living Faith Devotions and Living Faith Kids.
