Roger and Marcia Bresnahan

Roger received first, second and third degrees in the Knights Council in Fargo, ND in January 1954.  This is the third Council that he has been in since that time.

For the past several years he has been on the CPID team to raise funds for the intellectually disabled, and on the Ham sales team to raise funds for the Christmas baskets that are given to the needy in our area.

Roger has been a Eucharistic Minister for several years and a facilitator for two of the Adult Religious Education programs in the parish.  He put together a display for the Narthex to promote the Year of Faith with some 25 different pamphlets with truths of our faith. 

Four years ago Roger started and continues to lead a Prayer Service at each Men’s Club meeting. Five years ago he started and continues to lead the Friday Prayer Group of about 26 parishioners who meet at the church after Mass on Friday every week.  Roger also organizes a team each month from the Friday Prayer Group to cook and serve dinner to about 30 men at the Samaritan Ministries' homeless shelter in Hot Springs.

Marcia is often seen and heard as a daily mass cantor and is a team leader for the “Prayer Warrior” group in the parish.  She has been an organizer, promoter, and facilitator for numerous Adult Religious Education Bible studies and programs for the parish over the past five years.

Marcia is also a leader of the Friday Prayer Group along with Roger.  She has served on the Pastoral Council and has been a member of the Education Committee.
