As of October 13, 2004, I have assumed the position of your Parish Secretary. I am now married to my life long friend Will Cornell, who is the Assistant Fire Chief of Eagleville Fire Department. After a 14-year career as a nurse, I have retired from that field and find myself in this wonderful vocation.

I would like to tell you a little about myself. I am the mother of three wonderful children. Jessica Shain, age 20, and now works at Outback Restaurant, Emily Nicole, who wants to be a large animal vet some day, age 13, and Justin Michael, who loves building, age 11. We are life long residents of Connecticut and more recently, Storrs.

I am an active member of The First Congregational Church of Coventry. I enjoy studying the Culinary Arts, writing music, singing, playing guitar, painting, drawing, cross stitching, quilting, knitting, sewing, photography, gardening - the list is endless. I enjoy working with Father Paul and the Pastoral staff here at St. Thomas Aquinas. I am grateful to share in the many blessing that God has given to this parish. My door is always opened. Please feel free to contact my office with any parish needs.
