BVM Associate Stories

Mary Lou Reid and John Celentano -- New Associates

  Mary Lou Reid and John Celentano live in Arcadia, California. Presently both work for a financial planning firm. 

 John served in the Vietnam War, graduated from New York University and has administered a residential group home for developmentally disabled children in California. John and Mary Lou love music, theater, and Opera.

Mary Lou was born in St. Paul Minnesota and graduated from Our Lady of Peace High School.  She was a member of the BVMs for several years. After she left the Community she went to New York and got parts in Opera and musical theater.

Mary Lou and John both chose BVM Association because they wish to deepen their relationship with God and develop their spiritual lives. 

As Mary Lou says, "Affiliating with an organization whose beliefs I share will keep me centered and on track".

John Celentano and Mary Lou Reid will be making their Commitment as Associates at the Associate Gathering in Burbank, California on February 27, 2010.
