Tom Stano

Tom Stano began his walk with the Lord searching out a vocation to the priesthood through high school and college at St. Francis De Sales Seminary, where he earned a B.A. in Theology.  Believing that God wanted him to serve in a different way, he married and raised a family, all the while remaining involved in church activities such as CCD teaching and music ministry for Liturgy.   He was Baptized in the Spirit in 1976. He attended a few meetings and found he was unable to be comfortable with the prayer style.  His wife prayed for him for 12 years and quite suddenly he found new life in the Holy Spirit in the Renewal in 1988.   He has served as music minister at Promises of God Prayer Group since then. He was invited and continues to be a Pastoral Discerner since 1994.   He serves in a variety of roles as music leader, presenter at Life in the Spirit seminars, an event planner/coordinator here and with other service teams in the State, and in whatever area he is needed.  He concurrently leads the Promises of God Prayer Group at St. Margaret Mary Parish.   He continues to open himself to the leadings of the Holy Spirit and is blessed beyond belief!  

Teri Strom

Teri Strom began her "Life in the Spirit" through her mother who became active in the Charismatic Renewal in 1977 and a member of Benet Lake, the first Catholic Charismatic prayer group in Wisconsin, located at the Benedictine Monastery, St. Benedict's Abbey. Teri continued in her mother's footsteps, joining Benet Lake in 2000 and becoming a core team member.

She was asked to join the Pastoral Discerner team in 2013.

She also belongs to the Magnificat prayer group at St. Mary's in Kenosha but her true vocation lies in her special needs son Michael who accompanies her and is beside her on this journey of life and love in the Spirit.

Emily Tousignant

Emily Tousignant came to the Renewal in 2018. Her journey to the Renewal was totally unexpected, but she is immensely grateful for it.

For quite a few years, she could feel God calling her somewhere, and she searched many different areas within the Catholic Church-- including as a postulant in a convent-- before she was introduced to the Renewal. She thought she knew about the Renewal, but gradually learned she had a lot of misconceptions about it. Through various wonderful persons, she began to learn more about it, and eventually came to realize God was calling her there. She was eventually asked to consider serving as a Pastoral Discerner, which after prayer and consideration, she joyfully said yes to!

She's learned a great deal about the Renewal and those who consider themselves "Charismatic", and is still learning as she continues this journey. She has heard others call themselves "trads-matic" before, and this is how she supposes she could call herself. Completely loyal to the authentic Magisterium of the Catholic Church, she has found that the Renewal has a "Holy Spirit" dimension to the Church that she hasn't found elsewhere within the Church, but which existed at the very beginnings of the Church, even from the Apostolic Age. 

She is a Wisconsinite from birth, and lives with her husband and family, whom she adores.
