Monsignor Jim Lisante

This Thanksgiving, I want to give a heartfelt thank you to Monsignor Jim Lisante, along with Leslie Gretschel, for leading such an amazing food drive this year. Their dedication to helping so many families in need truly captures the spirit of the holiday season — a time to give, share, and care for one another. Monsignor Lisante sets an incredible example for other parishes, showing how leadership, generosity, and heart can make a real difference in people’s lives.

We’re so grateful for his vision, compassion, and unwavering commitment to serving others.
