Jan Borromei....I have the privilege of serving the communities of Sacred Heart, St. Ann’s, and St. Mary’s as Director of Faith Formation.  My days are extremely busy planning the Summer Program, the Summer Extension Program (Family, Faith & Food), the Family Faith Program, Sacramental Preparation for Confirmation, Reconciliation and First Eucharist, Service Projects, Adult Education, Children’s Liturgy of the Word, and fun activities such as games for parish gatherings and Breakfast with Santa.  To give you a little information about myself, I am a widow with two adult sons, Sean and Anthony (AJ), who both live in Rochester.  I also have a very spoiled Lhasa Apso named Toby, who makes sure I walk at least a mile a day.  I graduated from St. Bernard’s School of Theology and Ministry in May 2005 with a Master's Degree in Pastoral Studies.  I am the Director of Birthright for Auburn and I am also a Spiritual Director.  In my spare time, I love to walk, read, and cook.

Anna Comitz…. I have been the Youth Minister for Sacred Heart and Saint Ann Churches since July 2002. As of July 2005, I joined  Saint Mary’s as their Youth Minister. It will be a collaborative effort. My ministry is to all the teens in these three parishes. This includes a Jr. High and Sr. High group that gathers weekly, engages in social events, service projects, retreats, Diocesan and National Conventions. My three goals for the Youth are: To empower the youth to live as disciples of Jesus Christ in our world today; to draw the youth to responsible participation in the life, mission, and work of the Catholic faith community; and to foster the total personal and spiritual growth of each young youth. A little personal information about me: I am currently working on my Youth Ministry Certification through St. Bernard’s School of Theology and Ministry. I am the proud mother of two daughters, Erica and Meghan. I am blessed to be the one ministering to the youth of Sacred Heart, St. Ann, and St. Mary Churches.
