Greetings!
 
My name is Shirley Yaich and I’m grateful to be the new Director of Worship.  I moved to Michigan from Illinois last year when I met and married my husband, Stephen.  I’ve been blessed to serve in both parish and diocesan positions over the past 10 years:  most recently as the Director of Evangelization & Faith Formation for the Diocese of Peoria. 
 
I enjoy working with children and adults to share the Good News of Jesus Christ as we grow in discipleship together.  I’m looking forward to building relationships with the community here at St. Thomas Aquinas and St. John.  I’m honored to serve alongside you as we encounter Our Lord in the Liturgy.
