I am excited to start a new journey here as the Parish Family Business Director! I have over 25 years of accounting and finance experience that I believe will benefit the parish. My passions are Mission Work and serving God through my church. I met my adopted daughter on a mission trip to Uganda in 2005. I now have five granddaughters who live in Uganda! At home, I enjoy sharing time with my husband Michael and hanging out with our pets. I love quilting, music and movies.
Tim has been a part of the Bellarmine Chapel community since 2015, helping foster our parish’s sustainability, social justice, and service opportunities. He is a licensed social worker and serves as Adjunct Faculty in Xavier University’s Social Work and Theology Departments. He loves gardening and exploring the world with his wife and two curious children.
Pam began her work at Bellarmine with Children’s Faith Formation. She enjoys using her career in the arts to creatively plan programs, materials, and events that connect parishioners to their faith and each other. She and her husband Matt are Cincinnati natives and have three children who grew up in the parish.
In addition to serving as Bellarmine Chapel’s Director of Music, Roberta Whitely also serves Xavier University as their Assistant Director of Liturgy and Music. As a collaborative pianist, she has devoted much of her career to liturgical music, choral conducting, and chamber music. Roberta is very excited to have the opportunity to create collaborative programs between Bellarmine Chapel and Xavier University, offering both institutions a chance to work together and combine efforts towards collaborative programs and liturgies.
Olivia Castelli is a recent graduate of Xavier University with a Bachelor of Science in Exercise Science from Cincinnati, OH. During her time at Xavier, she was involved in 4 p.m. Student Mass, Tuesday Night Mass, and Life After Sunday.
