Hi, everyone! My name is Marisa Salvino, and I am the new Coordinator of Development here at St. Tom's. I just wanted to introduce myself and get to know some parishioners who care about St. Tom's as deeply as I do.

I am a recent Purdue grad, so I spent a lot of my time in between classes at St. Tom's. I participated in Lifeguides while in school, and I currently am partaking in the Spiritual Exercises with Catholic Young Adults. While I'm not around St. Tom's, I enjoy being in the outdoors, playing with my pup, Kyra, and experimenting new recipes with my fiancé. I come from an old-fashioned Italian family, so I love making pasta, pizza, and other yummy home-cooked meals.

I would love to learn more about each of you! Please write back with some of your favorite memories or things about St. Tom's and why you love being a part of this community. I hope to connect with many of you, and as we revamp the development department, I may need some wonderful volunteers to help out in the coming months.

You are all in my thoughts and prayers, and I look forward to getting to know each of you.

Peace and blessings,

Marisa
