Bishop's Cte.

JOJO CAPRINI
I am a life-long Episcopalian. Mike and I have been attending Saint Andrew's for 6 years. I sing in the choir and have taught Sunday School. I am a stay-at-home mother of Louis (5) and Hank (3). In my free time, I like to cook and read. I am happy to help out at the church in any way I can.

DEBBIE FORET
My husband, Thad, and I have been members at Saint Andrew's for 7 years. We have a son, Daniel, who is 7½ years old. We have all, as a family, come to love Saint Andrew's and our congregation friends. Currently, I am involved with the Welcoming Ministry, which allows me to meet (and greet!) our new members and guests. It is so wonderful to see our church fuller and fuller each week! I am a stay-at-home Mom, and volunteer at Daniel's school to assist his teacher as well as be the Room Parent. My personal interests include gardening, cooking, reading, and spending time with our neighbors and friends. I look forward to the year ahead at Saint Andrew's, and am especially grateful to have our new priest, Peter, and his family at our church.

JENNY LADEFOGED
I have recently joined Saint Andrew's. At my previous parish I was senior warden, (corresponds to Bishop's Warden here,) and was on the vestry several times. I would very much like to serve you by being elected to the Bishop's Committee. I realize that I am the new kid on the block, but I hope I can be of use. I have worked in the church on many levels, and at the moment am on the Diocesan Commission on Ministry, Diocesan Council and am a deputy to General Convention. I was Diocesan President of ECW.

I live in The Covington, the new Episcopal retirement residence. I am a Daughter of the King, and also enjoy leading prayer groups, doing Bible Study and exploring Visual Meditation.

I want to thank you for making me feel so welcome at Saint Andrew's and would like to help in any way I can.

KATHY CARTELLI
Kathy Cartelli, her husband, Lyle and son, Lance, moved to Irvine 12 years ago and started attending Saint Andrew's shortly after that. Last year, she joined the Altar Guild and has enjoyed her participation with that dedicated group. Kathy has worked in the health care field for over 20 years, and is currently working for a company that provides disease management services to health plan members with chronic diseases.

I believe that happiness comes from personal willingness to be of service in every opportunity. To be a part of the Bishop’s Committee is a way to be of service to Saint Andrew’s. I was not “born” an Episcopalian, nor did I know any Episcopalians in my younger years. Becoming an Episcopalian was the result of years of searching for a spiritual path that best matched my interpretation of who God is and how to stay open to the movement of God’s spirit within me and within the church. Being part of the Bishop’s Committee would give me the opportunity to give back to God and the Community of God a part of what has been given to me so freely. I am a questioning person by nature, and, at times, don’t think I am a very “good” Episcopalian, but, I’m willing to keep trying! Personally speaking, I am as “married” as I can be with my wonderful partner, Lorian. We have two beautiful 4 year old twin girls named Ruth and Rose. I have been a small business owner for the past 10 years. My field of business is Accounting Software and Technology infrastructure and I assist executive teams in making all sorts of decisions with computers and accounting, budgeting, and financial management software. Both Lorian and I assisted the previous church we attended with their network management and the technical aspects of their non-profit accounting software. Currently, I am involved in service at St. Andrews as your Habitat for Humanity Coordinator. Thank you for considering me for a place on the Bishop’s Committee

DAVID TINGEY
I grew up in England and moved to the U.S. in 2002. Since moving to California in 2004, Saint Andrew's has become an important part of my life and I was confirmed here last year. It has been a wonderful family to join and serving on the Bishop's Committee would be a great chance to give something back to this family.
