Congratulations to our Maryann Johnston, recipient of the 2017 Vivere Christus Est award!

There are more ways than can be listed that Maryann has given of her time, experience, and loving care to many areas of ministry, to various people in need, and to the community. She exemplifies all that Bishop Serratelli intended when he instituted this prestigious award.

Maryann and her husband, George, have been members of our 
parish for over 30 years, and have two married daughters and 
two grandchildren. Maryann has served the parish generously in the following capacities: Parish Trustee; Pastoral Council 
member; Extraordinary Minister; Women’s Cornerstone team; overseer of Parish Nurses and Caregiver’s Support ministries; 
and Healing Prayer ministry. This is to name just some of her many important contributions over the years!

The Vivere Christus Est award was presented at a special service this afternoon at St. John the Baptist Cathedral in Paterson.
