Ramon Alonzo
I work for a Financial Technology company. My family is involved in serving the OLM community. I am a lector. My wife, Julie, is an Extraordinary Minister of Holy Communion and a catechist. My son, Akie, is part of the OLM Children’s Choir, and my other son, Vigo, is an Altar Server, and my eldest daughter, Issabela, is a student of the world and works as a teacher.

Ronald Apelizan
I am an IT Professional at one of the biggest financial institutions in the U.S. I am married to Evelyn. We have a daughter, Hanna, and twin boys, Tom & Tim. We are members of the Couples For Christ Community and I serve as a Lector at Mass. I am looking forward to learning more about serving God through the OLM Community.

Danna Marie Beyo
My commitment to serving the Church was inspired by my family’s dedication to faith and ministry. Through the years, I have been involved in various roles, including participating in the children’s liturgy, CCD, choir, church cleaning, and functioning as an altar server. After completing my graduate studies, I returned to serve as a part of the Hospitality Ministry, Youth and Young Adult Ministry, and as the church’s official photographer. Serving the church has been a profound and fulfilling journey, and I remain committed to supporting its mission and spiritual development as part of the Parish Council.

Kristine Felipe
I am married to Gerald Felipe and have two children. I am involved with our Baptism Ministry and Coffee Chat Program. I work as a nurse clinician at Horizon BCBS Federal Program. I’m hoping that OLM would have more activities and events that will foster camaraderie, encourage a new generation to attend Mass, and help people strengthen their personal connection with God.

Dominique Flores
I have been a pediatric nurse at New York Presbyterian-Weill Cornell for the past six years and am working towards being a pediatric nurse practitioner. I am also working on becoming a Certified CCD Teacher. I enjoy giving back and serving as a Lector and being involved in the Young Adult Ministry. If it were not for God and the people of OLM, I would not be who I am today.

Connie Lorenzo
I am a retired Saint Peter’s University employee, and a long-time member of our parish. I have served as an Minister of Holy Communion and now I am an active member of the Baptism Ministry, Filipino Apostolate, and Wellness Ministry. It would be nice to have more parishioners come forward to share their talents in various ministries.

Robby Manubay
My guiding principle in life is Live, Love, and Serve. As a dedicated provider for my family—my wife, Mae, and our two wonderful children, Mason and Mela—I find joy in supporting and nurturing them. Being part of the Parish Pastoral Council is my way of giving back and serving others. Faith, family, and service are at the heart of everything I do, and I am honored to be part of a community that values the same.

Natalie McCurnin
I am a member of our parish’s Rosary Society and assist with our Coffee Chat program. I am married and have a son who attends OLM’s faith formation.

Luis ‘Bong’ Origenes
I am married to Beth Origenes, we have five children. I am a member of our parish’s Baptism Ministry, Filipino Apostolate, the FOM Family Outreach Ministry and Music Ministry. I also serve an Extraordinary Minister of Holy Communion.

Trinidad Palmiery
I am a board-certified psychiatrist in clinical practice in Staten Island, NY. I am married to Basilio Torre and we have one married son. I collaborate with various parish ministries. I hope that in the future our parish might promote mental/emotional wellness through education, awareness, and possibly forming a team to help parishioners who feel isolated, lonely, or overburdened.

Krystelle Pring
I am a part of OLM’s Music Ministry. I have two healthy parents and a brother. My vision for OLM is to broaden our reach beyond the walls of our church and to continue nurturing faith-based leadership from within our community. Outside of parish life, I work with cancer patients who are participating in clinical trials.

Chit de la Rama
I was born, raised, and educated in the Philippines and worked at Aeroflot Manila. When I came to the US, I worked for TWA and then joined the United Nations system as Asst. Supervisor at the English Text Processing Unit. After 34 years of service, I retired in 2016. I was married to the late Jon de la Rama and the late Rey Naval. I have two sons: Father Gino of Holy Cross Parish in Harrison, and Carlo, a police officer in New Milford, NJ.
