Spotlight

Outstanding Volunteer Spotlight

GRACE is honored to recognize Outstanding Volunteer, Christina Spierings. Christina was presented with this award at a Mass on November 13th.

Christina is the proud mother of six children, four of whom attend Our Lady of Lourdes Catholic School. In addition to raising her children, she volunteers for her school in two important roles: Christina is a co-chair of their Site Advisory Committee, providing foundational organization and leadership to the council. Christina is also the co-chair of their largest fundraiser of the year, Light Up Lourdes, coordinating and managing the event with a sub-committee of co-chairs.

Before starting her family, Christina was an elementary teacher. She draws on this valuable history to flourish in her volunteer roles.

If asked about this award, Christina would reply that she doesn’t deserve it! She feels she is just helping her school. Our Lady of Lourdes is a better place in part due to the commitment shown by Christina Spierings.
