Elizabeth Ingle, President. St. Agnes has always been a central place in my life. I have been a parishioner since 1967, when my family, Jerome & Theresa Kieswetter and my 3 siblings, began to practice here. Before Senior High School & University, I attended our parish schools St. Agnes and St. David High School. My husband Steve & I were married here and we baptized our two daughters Sarah & Olivia here. They now attend St. Agnes School as well. My journey here now gives me the privilege to serve as Parish Council President. I always welcome your thoughts, your feedback and your ideas for growing our parish together.

My other St. Agnes Parish hats are the Immaculate Heart of Mary Rosary Guild, Sacristy Lady, Religious Reading Corner coordinator.
