Mr. Robert Piskach ( Permanent Deacon )
After three years of classes, on June 1, 1985 I was ordained to
the Deaconate by Bishop Anthony M. Pilla. I have been a member
of St. Francis de Sales since 1959.
I also married my wife Maureen at St.Francis de Sales on February, 15,
1958. We have four adopted children and seven grand children. I am
retired from the Cleveland Fire Department.
As a Deacon at St. Francis de Sales I am involved in the Pre-Cana Program
with my wife and also preach at masses, do baptism, funerals, weddings, help in the
RCIA program and the PSR program. I am also the Spiritual Director for the Holy
Name Society and a Friar for the Arch-Bishop Hoban 4th degree Knights of Columbus
Assembly.
Miss Anne Sweeney ( Principal )
I arrived at St. Francis de Sales School in the fall of 1977 so I have
been here for 23 years. I taught 8th grade English and Social Studies
for 11 years until I became the principal in 1988. Father Donald Balogh
hired me following the completion of my Master's Degree from Ursuline
College.
There are many things I like about being the principal. I enjoy planning new activities
for the teachers and the children, organizing the details of the project and seeing it
carried through. I like to work with the teachers to help them improve their instruction
and consequently improve student learning. I like to talk to the kids and listen to their
ideals even if I am not always able to give them everything they want. Most especially
I want to share my faith and beliefs with the teachers, students and staff so they truly
understand that God loves them.
Most of my "other" activities at St. Francis de Sales center around the school. I meet
with the PTU and other adult committees and serve on the Finance Board. I am a
Eucharistic minister at school Masses and frequently lector.
Gerry Mass ( Director of Music )
After a thirty-year absence, I was delighted to return to my home parish of
St. Francis de Sales in October of 2002 (I served as organist here from
1968-1972 when I was in music school at Baldwin-Wallace College).
I attended our Parish school in the 1950's and 1960's and, since my return
to St. Francis de Sales, have been so happy to see so many familiar faces
(and friends) once again. This has been a very happy re-uniting for me!
