We are honored to be the first lay couple to head this office. Formerly, a diocesan priest performed these duties.We live in Saranac Lake and have three daughters (Amanda, Erin and Ellen) and eight grandchildren: Emma, John, Isaac, Lucy, Charlie, Theodore, Nora and Amelia​. 

We have been involved in the pro-life arena for several years. We have served as the Diocesan Respect Life Directors for 16 years and led a group to the DC March for Life for over 20 years. We've taken part in Planned Parenthood pickets, LIFECHAINS, 40 Days for Life and other pro-life events that witness to the sanctity of all human life. We offer Rachel’s Vineyard, an after-abortion healing retreat each year and strive to promote an awareness of life issues to the public. We also conduct respect life workshops in order to educate the youth and can be found with informational tables at various diocesan events.

John is a retired investigator with the NYS Police Computer Crime Unit . He is a Fourth Degree Knight of Columbus. Colleen is a reporter and photographer for the North Country Catholic Newspaper.

Please to not hesitate to contact us with any questions or news you may have concerning Respect Life. We will do our best to keep those in the Diocese informed of pro-life happenings and issues via their pastors, this web page, enotes and the North Country Catholic newspaper. We’d like to thank the Bishop for allowing us to fill this important role.
