Member 36 years
I am single and the youngest child of Bob & Phyllis Noll. My siblings are Debbie Pastura (husband Rick), Bob Noll III
(wife Jane), Connie Noll. I have one nephew & three nieces; Quinn and Lucy Pastura, and Katelyn and Krista Noll.
I am a Physical Therapist and the Center Manager for Nova Care Rehabilitation in Crestview Hills, Ky.
I joined Pastoral Council because St. Joseph is my spiritual home and I want to help us realize our potential as a parish
family and as members of the body of Christ. We are in a place right now where we need to see some changes
happen in order to deepen our faith, grow our parish, and serve our community in the way that God intended. I’m here
to serve the members of this parish family and I think Pastoral Council is the best way for me to fulfill that promise.

I am married to Tim 20 years and we have 3 children. Logan and Phoebe are at St. Joseph, Max is at Covington
Catholic.
I work in Special Education for the Kenton County School District in the Community Based Work Transition Program. I
work out of Dixie, Simon Kenton and Scott high Schools helping special needs students to make a smooth transition
from high school to the work force.
I have enjoyed serving St. Joseph through the work that I’ve done on Bids-n-bites and PTO, as well as coaching for boys
and girls volleyball. I’ve also helped to facilitate the Everybody Counts program.
I currently serve on the Education Commission, the Festival Committee and Pastoral Council. I have also coordinated
the welcoming of new school families to St. Joseph for the last four years. I try to ease their transition to the school and
encourage them to join in worship as well.
As my children are getting ready to transition from elementary school to high school, I’ve joined the Parish Council in an
effort to shift my service to St. Joseph from the school to the church.

I have been married to Dan for 22 years and we have 3 sons. All of them attended elementary school here at St.
Joseph. Patrick is a junior at XU, John is a freshman at UK and Brian is a junior at Covington Catholic.
I am a Respiratory Therapist but have not worked in my field since moving here from Iowa 20 years ago. I am currently
employed by my husband as a domestic engineer in our home : ).
My past involvements at St. Joseph have included teaching Sunday School, serving on the school board, facilitating
Familia, being a booth captain for the festival and Pastoral Council for the last three years. I am very active in Cursillo
and Youth 2000.
I am currently learning to assist the Bereavement Committee and look forward to serving on Pastoral Council under Fr.
DeVous. I am hoping to get a “Theology on Tap” program off the ground and am very excited about the progress of the
men’s and women’s CHIRP. I love our parish family and believe our faith is our most valuable treasure. I hope to
grow and learn and deepen my relationship with the person of Jesus Christ and work to build new friendships and
community here at St. Joseph.

I have been married to Monica 19 years, we have 2 sons. Nick (15)is a freshman at Covington Catholic and Luke (12) is
a 6th grader at St. Joe’s.
I am in IT Management for Great American Insurance Co. in Cincinnati OH.

I have met many people while being involved with the church and school at St. Joe’s and have begun some deep
friendships that I hope will last a lifetime. I enjoy spending my time and talents with others who share my same
beliefs. I would like to continue my involvement as a disciple of Christ and encourage others to do the same and to be
more active. This parish is our church. Working together with Jesus we can continue to make it a better community.

I am married to Jon and we have three children at St. Joe’s. Elizabeth is in 6th grade, Thomas in 3rd, and Matthew is in
kindergarten.
I am a pediatrician with Pediatric Associates here in northern KY.
I have been involved in several volunteer positions at the school (presently Girl Scouts and Art Appreciation). I have also
been involved with the Dream Sessions, the Festival, Heritage Day and the 2009 parish picnic. I am currently a Lector,
and an Extraordinary Minister of Holy Communion, a member of Parish Council, and this year’s chair of the Festival
Committee.
I am immensely grateful for all of the good things our school, parish and faith have given me and my family over many
years. I directly credit St. Joseph (particularly our former principal, Sr. Mary Suzanne Rose) as a tremendous source of
influence and encouragement in my life. I chose to be involved here in the hopes that many more children and adults
can continue to receive these gifts through this parish for years to come.
