We are pleased to welcome Kevin O’Connell as the new Director of Religious Education here at Our Lady of Good Counsel Parish. Kevin is originally from Long Island, New York where he was very active in his home parish of St. Joseph the Worker, receiving a Certificate in Basic Theology from the Diocese of Rockville Centre. Kevin earned a B.A. in Theology and History at Assumption College and a M. Ed. at Springfield College, studying Student Personnel Administration in Higher Education. Kevin currently works in the Division of Student Affairs at the College of the Holy Cross and lives in Auburn with his wife and two young children. We extend thanks to the parish search committee for their diligence in undertaking the search and interview process. We anticipate Kevin beginning his work in early August.
