Jeff Bonert lives with his wife Megan and two children, Mason (10) and Natalie (7) on their farm right outside of Colesburg.  Jeff has been a part of the Parish for the last 10 years and would like to be a part of the parish council so that he can be more actively involved in helping our church to thrive.

I have been a member of St. Patrick for over 40 years, joining soon after my husband, Tom, and I were married. We have two grown sons and 5 grandchildren. I was a teacher in the Catholic School System and also at Ed-Co. Most of my professional career was spent as an elementary principal.

I would be excited to serve on the Pastoral Council at St. Patrick. It’s important to give back to our parish. I think it would be fun to work with existing members and our parish at large to make a positive difference in our church, our community, and beyond. There are so many needs out there, and I think we can really help. 

Luke McCabe and his family reside in Colesburg. They have been members of St. Patrick's for over 10 years. Luke is a body tech at Avalon Body Shop. When he is not working he enjoys hunting, fishing, and spending time with his family. 

Matt was raised on his family's dairy farm outside of Luxemburg.  Matt attended Beckman Catholic schools and then worked in the construction industry until he started farming in 2016.  Matt and his wife, Maria, have 2 children, Spencer (3) and Carlene (2).  Matt would like to join the parish council to have an opinion and help make a difference in his church community.  He is excited to bring his knowledge of construction to the table to assist in any way possible.
