Meet the Team

Father Ken is a native of Export, PA.  He became the pastor of Our Lady of Grace on June 16, 2025, but is not a new face here. Many long-time parishioners will remember Father Ken as a newly ordained priest, serving at Our Lady of Grace as a Parochial Vicar in the early 1980s. Father Ken also serves as the Pastor of Saint Benedict Parish, Marguerite. 

Ordained in 1998 for the Diocese of Tagum, Philippines, Father Levi (pronounced “Lee Vee”) joined the staff in August 2023 as the Parochial Vicar of the Partner Parishes of Our Lady of Grace and Saint Benedict. Prior to entering the International Priests Program, Father Levi served in his home Diocese of Tagum as a Parochial Vicar, Pastor, Youth Director, Spiritual Director at Queen of Apostles Seminary, and Secretary to the Bishop. In addition to celebrating the sacraments, Fr. Levi’s ministry here will focus on visiting the sick and homebound members of our parish.

Joining the staff in 1995, Marisa has faithfully served Our Lady of Grace Parish for 30 years.  She holds a Bachelor of Music from SUNY Fredonia and a Master of Music in Voice from the University of Arizona, Tucson. In addition to playing for parish liturgies, Marisa directs the Premier, Funeral, and Youth musicians. Marisa assists families in planning weddings and funerals. She also assists with seasonal devotions and training liturgical ministers.  Professionally, she is involved in the American Guild of Organists. 

Katrina earned her Bachelor of Arts degree in music & theology. After graduating from college, she left her work in music therapy to serve the Church.  Katrina joined the parish staff in 2010 to work with the youth and young adults of our parish. She now serves as our Director of Discipleship & Evangelization, working to oversee children's formation, youth ministry, adult formation, OCIA, and preparation for Sacraments. In addition to her formation duties, she oversees technology.

Stephanie joined the staff in 2023 and oversees the Children’s Ministry Program and Vacation Bible School. After earning her Bachelor of Arts in Psychology and her Master’s in Elementary Education, she has spent her career teaching elementary and special education in both Virginia and Pennsylvania. Stephanie, her husband, and four kids have been active parish members since 2018.

Emily is a familiar face around the parish, having grown up at Our Lady of Grace, where she was formed in her faith and active in youth ministry, mission trips, altar serving, and cantoring.  She attended Saint Francis University in Loretto, earning undergraduate and graduate degrees in Occupational Therapy. After serving in several temporary youth ministry internship positions at the parish between her travel OT assignments, Emily moved home in 2024, joining our staff in the fall of 2024 and working as an Occupational Therapist for the Children's Institute of Pittsburgh.

Bio Coming Soon

On July 1st, 2021, our parish welcomed Joyce to our staff.  If you call or visit the parish office, it is Joyce who will help you. In addition to answering phone calls and greeting visitors, Joyce manages the parish finances, prepares the weekly bulletin, maintains the parish calendar, assists the staff with various clerical tasks, and handles many other office needs. 

Patty joined the parish team in April 2025 to fill the role left vacant by a staff retirement. However, she is not a new face to the Our Lady of Grace family.  Having family roots in Cerrcemaggorie, and the original 'Hilltop' church, Patty was formed in her faith and received all of her Sacraments here.  If you don't recognize her from the parish, Patty is also known to people from the Greensburg Post Office, where she retired from after 30 years of service. 

Adam is the newest member of our team, joining us in November 2025.
