Parish Life Commission Representative

gkalahar@queenschurch.com

I am technically a life-long parishioner of Queens Parish, other than a short stint not living in Jackson. I went to Queens School, JCMS, and Lumen Christi. I have been married to my wife Becky for 27 years. We have 3 children: Emily (25), Erin (23), and Adam (21). I am employed at Kentwood Office Furniture in Sales and Purchasing. I also am a realtor at Lefere Realty.

Parish Involvement: Chair of the Parish Life Commission, active in the Knights of Columbus. I am a former member and president of the Queens Men’s Club.

Favorite Bible verse: Philippians 4:8, “Whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things.”

My hope for the future: That we always strive to see the good in each other and to work for the common good of our parish and our community.
