Since I am still fairly new to the parish, I asked around "who might be a worthy recipient of Parishioners of the year for 2009". Everyone offered the same family name. I was told that this family does so much here at Saint Andrew Parish - some of it is seen by all - but most of it is behind the scenes. I was certainly already aware of how much they do for the parish, and so, following the recommendation of the Parish Pastoral Council, selected Anne & Ralph Hefner as "Parishioners of the Year" for 2009 are Ralph & Anne Hefner. At Mass in early 2010, they were asked to come forward and they were presented with a Papal Blessing from Pope Benedict XVI for them.
