My name is Star Yankton and I have worked in the Diocese of Rochester since 1994. I began at St. Mary’s Church in Auburn and worked there for 24 years. As a Business Manager, I have worked on increased giving initiatives, capital campaigns and a complete renovation of the church and hall. In 2018 I joined the shared business office for all the parishes of Auburn and Northern Cayuga County. We are creating a new regional shared service finance office to include all the parishes in Tompkins and Cayuga counties, including All Saints, Holy Cross, and St. Anthony. We will also serve Good Shepherd, Immaculate Conception and St. Catherine’s, while continuing to serve the 6 parishes in Auburn and Weedsport. I am delighted to begin a new chapter as the Finance Manager for your parishes and the rest of the East Deanery. I have completed the St. Bernard’s Certification in Parish Business Management, as well as having earned my Associates in Applied Science and my Bachelors of Science Degrees in accounting. In addition to working for the Auburn area parishes, I currently work as a Business Manager for Tyburn Academy, an independent private Catholic school in Auburn. Prior to my employment with St. Mary’s, I worked for the Salvation Army in Syracuse in their Business Office and for P&C Food Markets in the Price Management Division. I look forward to learning about your parishes, their ministries and how we can move into the future together.
