Pease join Knights Council 8172 in congratulating Bob and Victoria Gariepy as St. Thomas' Parishioners of the Month for May! Bob was born and raised in Upper Michigan’s Keweenaw Peninsula. He attended Michigan Tech, earned his Electrical Engineering degree from Marquette University in 1967 and worked in the electrical utility industry until he retired in 2005. Growing up in a musical family lead to Bob’s talent in singing and as an instrumentalist, which he and Victoria have used extensively at St. Thomas and outreach programs. Victoria was born and raised in Milwaukee, attended Pius High School and pursued a career in nursing until retirement. They were married in 1989 and have six children, eleven grandchildren and six great-grandchildren. Over the last 25 years, they have been active members in various ministries including the Choir, Holy Dusters, Trustee, Buildings and Grounds, website development, and Parish Historian. Being involved at St. Thomas has been a rewarding experience in developing lifelong friendships and helping others through the ministries in which they worked. Please congratulate them and thank them for their contributions to St. Thomas and the community.
