I enjoy volunteer work and have lived in a monastery during the summers and assisted the Nuns with care of the sick, book repair, kitchen work and switchboard operations. I have also worked in soup kitchens, feeding the homeless in both Lithuania and Chicago. I am a volunteer at the community chapel. I am a Lector and assisted with retreats for both Teens and American Troops stationed overseas and I am an Extraordinary Minister of the Eucharist. I enjoy listening to music, dancing, playing the guitar, singing, traveling and meeting new people. |
