The office secretary is an instrumental part of any organization.  Isabel's efficiency and attention to detail are second to none. Her caring attitude and the relationship she has formed with Parishioners is her priority. Isabel is fluent in Portuguese, which is essential for communication with many of our Parishioners. She is the pleasant voice when you call and  the smiling face when you visit.
