Hello, I’m Karen Webb and I’m one of the new Business Managers for the N.E.T. Catholic parishes. I’ve lived in New York State since my college years, when I got my BS in Accounting from Binghamton University. After a period of auditing, then managing a medical office, since 2002 I’ve worked for a few Rochester Catholic parishes, all but two of the last 18 years as business manager or finance director. My last parishes were Church of the Assumption and Church of the Resurrection in Fairport, where I’d been finance director for seven years (at Assumption for twelve). I chose to move to Tompkins County because several family members live close by, and, although I’ve loved every position I’ve held, my favorite has always been business management. I do see it as a ministry of service, as my Catholic faith is very important to me, and I love using my skills and talents to benefit the Church. I am very much looking forward to serving the parishioners and staffs of these wonderful parishes (many Fairport parishioners grew up in this area, and they were happy to tell me about your kindness, hospitality, and strong faith). I look forward to meeting more of you as soon as possible!
