I have been married to my husband Michael Hogan for 25 years.  We moved to Easton nine years ago with our four children to shorten my husband’s commute.  We settled on Easton for the schools – and for Holy Cross Parish!  We attended a Mass before we purchased our home and were impressed with the youth ministry, music and charism of the Congregation of Holy Cross so evident at the Mass.
My husband and I both volunteer teaching Faith Formation or helping with Confirmation, our older kids have gone on the ASP service trip, and Fr. Jim Fenstermaker was receptive when we asked and helped to organize the first group from Holy Cross to attend the Steubenville Catholic Youth Conference.
I ran Vacation Bible School for three summers, and joined parish council in 2017.  Prior to joining the staff here at the parish in July, 2020, I was writing e-books and content for familyrosary.org and Catholicmom.com under Holy Cross Family Ministries.  HCFM in Easton a worldwide ministry founded by Holy Cross Father Patrick Peyton – who was declared Venerable by Pope Francis!  My claim to fame is getting some screen credits in the film "Pray" which is about Father Peyton's life!  I pray to him everyday, his motto "The Family that Prays Together, Stays Together" guides me everyday.
