Board of Advisors
Colleen Healy
Colleen looks forward to attending Mass every week – and loves how Old St. Patrick’s brings the Word to life in both liturgy and the larger community. She has described Old St. Patrick’s as a “thinking person’s” parish – where the soul, the heart and the brain are welcomed into the faith journey. After living in Seattle and San Francisco, she returned to the Midwest a decade ago, when she became a member of Old St. Pat’s. She is thrilled to reside in the city where her Grandparents grew up – and where she has many cousins. She is a proud aunt to her young nieces and nephew, who have recently taught her how to hula hoop and swing from monkey bars with at least limited proficiency. Colleen lives in Old Town and runs along the lakefront year-round. She also serves as a Board Director for the YWCA of Chicago Metropolitan, an organization committed to fighting racism and empowering women. Colleen is a chief financial officer at Centro, an enterprise-class software provider for digital advertising organizations.
Keara Ette
A member of Old St. Patrickʹs staff for the last seven years, Keara is the Director of Faith Formation. She is inspired by the environment of empowerment at Old St. Patʹs — a place she calls her second home. ʺThe sense that the ‘work’ of church belongs to all of us, as we the baptized are given the responsibility and the honor of working to bring about the kingdom of God — right here and right now.ʺ In the beginning, Keara’s ministry was focused on young adults and adult sacramental formation, but more recently, Keara has enjoyed the opportunity to connect with our spiritual and mission outreach; kinship; marriage, and liturgical ministries. Originally from the South Side of Chicago, Keara, her husband, Michael, and their son, Daniel, recently moved back to the neighborhood.
Michael Kennedy
Tim Keneally
Originally from Long Island, New York, Tim and his wife, Mary Ann, are the proud parents of five children and ten grandchildren. A member of Old St. Patʹs since 2010, Tim and his family have been active in many Old St. Patʹs initiatives, including Deck the Hall; Emerald Ball; Celtic Celebration, The Journey Forward Capital Campaign; and the Board. Inspired by Old St. Patʹs spiritual and community involvement, Tim accepted the opportunity to serve, support and foster our Christian outreach activities in an effort to help make a difference in others lives — both spiritually and personally. Tim currently serves as the President of KapStoneContainer Corporation, headquartered in Northbrook, Illinois.
Roseanne Loftus
For the last 12 years, Rose Loftus has found the Old St. Patrick’s community to be the creative stimulus to challenge and engage her spirituality. Rose accepted the invitation to join the Board as she believes the Board first and foremost must be passionately engaged and connected to the community. Rose, and her husband Liam Healy, are committed to advancing the mission of Old St. Patrick’s and support many of our initiatives including the Family Advisory Board; LIFT; the Beloved Community; The Frances Xavier Warde School (FXW); Emerald Ball; and Siamsa na nGael; and the Journey Forward Capital Campaign. Rose and Liam have five children and four are currently attending FXW. In her spare time, Rose practices law with her sister at Loftus & Loftus, Ltd.
Kevin Hanley
An active participant in the Old St. Patrick’s community for 10 years, Kevin, his wife, Molly, and their five children live in River Forest. In addition to being a member of the Board, Kevin also serves as the Chair of the Finance committee. Kevin feels that Old St. Pat’s is a welcoming community and place to celebrate and share his faith. He believes his participation with the Board of Advisors will help spread the Old St. Patʹs mission within our community, as well as outside of the community through our many programs at the Crossroad Center. Kevin is First Vice President and Wealth Management Advisor with Merrill Lynch, the Sullivan Hanley Group in Oak Brook, Illinois.
