I am grateful for the presence of Elizabeth Marie Gengle in the Diocese of Gaylord, and all she does through her ministry of offering retreats, presentations, radio broadcasts, and teaching. Elizabeth has an impressive background of professional accomplishments and educational enrichment. She brings a wealth of parish and family life experience to her work, especially in her insightful reflections on the Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius of Loyola, whose method of discernment is so timely in our spiritually confused world. I am confident that Liz’s love of the Church and efforts to enhance a mature discipleship will be appreciated and bear good fruit.

Most Reverend Jeffrey J. Walsh, Bishop of Gaylord
