Welcome to our new Co-Lay Directors

We are excited to announce the new leaders of our movement here in the Toledo Diocese. We are blessed to have two members with a great history in our movement. They have served us in many ways over the years. Below in their own words a little about themselves and why they came forward to be our Lay Directors.

Kathy Otermat and John Lyons

Kathy Otermat

I lived my Cursillo weekend in May,1985. (I was INCREDIBLY young.) This movement has been an important part of my life pretty much ever since. I have had different positions in the movement and had an opportunity to be the lay director with my husband Scott (who’s now in heaven) some years ago. I knew the lay director position was currently open, and a couple of dear Cursillo friends had mentioned the position to me, but I did not feel that this was the right time. HOWEVER, God had a different idea. (Yay, God!)

John Lyons

Jesus said that if we want to be the greatest, we have to serve. If we want to be first, we need to be last. And since living my Cursillo #199 back in 2001, I have grown to understand this message more and more. That is one reason that I said yes to God for this position; to serve Him and those He has put in my life. And I am not perfect. I do make my mistakes. I am trying my best to follow His lead.
