Noah is a convert of at least 10 years - he lost track some time ago - and he has been active in the parish from early on: CRHP, RE, Upper Room Teen Bible Study, Choir, Men's Chant Choir, and various other activities.
He received his BA from IU in History - his studies of the history of the Church were part of his conversion. "To be deep in history is to cease to become Protestant." A full-time father for two decades, he now teaches at
St. Ambrose Academy where he petitions his patron, St. Joseph, early and often.

Jen is married to her very best friend, Michael. She was raised in Zionsville, Indiana, and now enjoys raising her two sons here. She and Michael have a 13 year old son, Quinn, a 6 year old son, Asher, and 7 year old Great Dane, Brooklyn. She owns an event planning company and enjoys traveling and attending her boys' numerous sporting events. In 2012 she finally felt complete when she finished RCIA and was welcomed into the Church.
 
 

Eve has been married for 28 years to Bill, and they have four children (a 23 year old son and three daughters, ages 21, 19, and 17).

At St. Alphonsus, she is involved in Confirmation mentoring, Bible studies, prayer groups, and Fiat, and she is an Extraordinary Minister of Holy Communion. She also taught RE when her children were younger.
Eve looks forward to supporting and serving our parishioners, as she truly values the relationships that she has made through St. Alphonsus and would love to give back to the community and Church family that sustain her.

“To round out my bio, I should mention that in my professional life, I am a pediatrician and have a private practice in Avon. In my free time, I love to read, quilt, exercise, and spend time with my family.”

Bill is honored to have been selected to sit on our Parish Pastoral Council. He is married to Patty and they have three children: Casey, Jack, and Lisa. Their family has attended St. Alphonsus since 1999.

Bill’s past and current volunteer activities include Youth Ministry, Confirmation preparation, Knights of Columbus, parish festivals, Facilities Upgrade Committee, hiring committees, CRHP, Exodus, and a previous term on Parish Council.

He believes the breadth and depth of his ministry involvement, along with leadership positions he has held, provide good insight to discuss and evaluate areas of opportunity for our parish and to assist our pastor.
