to their parish through various activities. As a member of the Rosary
Altar Society, Angela launders the Altar cloths. In addition, the
couple volunteers to sew and distribute the white garments used
during the Sacrament of Baptism.
“The church is at the center of our lives,” says Angela.
Edmond and Angela attach great value to living their faith within
the parish community, as well as carrying the Gospel message and
their Christian values to the outside world. It is a world that
