Melissa Rhodes has been a member of St. Ann since January of 2017. She began OCIA (then RCIA) later that fall and was received into the Catholic church through Baptism, Confirmation, and First Holy Communion at the Easter Vigil in March of 2018. Melissa has been a staff member since March of 2019, first as the Assistant Youth Director, then the RCIA Assistant. She is currently the Coordinator of Liturgy, and the Communications Coordinator.

Her favorite thing about St. Ann is the dedication and generosity of the volunteers, who always show up to support the parish and parishioners through the many ministries St. Ann has to offer.

A scripture verse that she finds strength & encouragement from is: “Rejoice always, pray constantly, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.”-1 Thessalonians 5:16-18
