I became a member of St. Mary's in 1989. I started teaching CCD in 1990-91 and have taught mostly Sacraments classes (my favorite). I have also been involved in Adult Faith Formation and promoting Catholic Devotions and Eucharistic Adoration. My grandchildren are my joy. I am forever thankful to God for calling upon me to be a part of His Good Work.
Tara Taylor

Ministry for the ACC
Tara, having a love of story-telling since childhood, passionately seeks the Lord's involvement in every page of her own narrative. The Lord has seen her through numerous adventures, and now has introduced the chapter of being the Director of Youth and Young Adult Ministry for all of the Four Pillars in Faith ACC parishes. Tara is eager to carry out this new adventure with joyful ambition she prays is contagious.
