She sang in the choir for forty years and has been an altar guild member for over thirty years, has belonged to the Episcopal Church Women (ECW), and has served in many capacities during her tenure in this parish. After having worked in a pediatrician's office for many years, she retired from Barnwell Nursing Home. Pat loves reading and traveling (favorites: Australia, Alaska).

DAVID MALSAN has been a member of Saint Paul's for almost 30 years. In his time here he has served on many committees, such as Strawberry Festival and Budget & Finance, Buildings & Grounds, as gravedigger, and has been a member of the Vestry for most of his time among us. He coordinates the Brotherhood of Bacon and records and edits the videos of our Sunday Mass.

She shares her gifts of organization and wisdom with us with an abundance of energy and good humor.
MUSIC DIRECTOR

She teaches private lessons in violin, voice and piano to students of all ages.  Cathy loves directing at Saint Paul's, as there is an appreciation for a broad range of music.  Before she began playing at Saint Paul's, she served as organist for Linlithgo reformed Church in Livingston from 2004 to 2011, and also did substitute organ and choral work at Mt. Pleasant Reformed Church.  Besides music, Cathy enjoys painting watercolors, swimming, bicycling, long walks, cooking, collecting antiques, fashion, movies and theater.
