Friends in Faith: Liz Schiavone

Liz Schiavone has a passion for service—and she does it well, very well. Her main focus is her husband, Angelo, and their five adult children and grandchildren. But somehow, she manages to work a full-time job (with a commute of 30 minutes each way) and serve on a number of committees and boards, including as province director for the National Council of Catholic Women. I don’t think the woman ever sleeps!

What inspires me most about Liz is that she’s always available when I need advice on who to talk with about my ministry to Catholic women over forty, and the best way to share the information. She’s one of my key sounding boards, and is always thoughtful, prayerful, and positive.
