Howard and his wife Diane retired to Okotoks five years ago to be near their daughters Lee Obrigewitch and Cheryl Warren and 12 of their 17 grandchildren. Both Howard and Diane had an encounter with Jesus in the late 1970’s and can testify to God’s transforming grace. They serve as lectors and extraordinary communion ministers. Howard had an exciting career in the international oil industry but his passion is evangelism – he serves as National Director of the Full Gospel Business Men’s Fellowship, a worldwide Christian outreach. His vision for our parish is that all Catholics would have a personal relationship with Jesus and recognize their mission to bring others to Christ.
