If you didn’t notice Andy, Susan or Madison hard at work at some point during the parish’s recent fall festival, you weren’t looking hard enough. Andy served as one of the co-chairmen of the festival, from the planning stages months earlier to the post-teardown get-together out in the parking lot on Sunday evening when the revelers had long gone home. The three of them all worked the rummage sale, which accounted for a huge percentage of the festival’s revenue, and the rummage pre-sale back in August. Andy’s schedule this past month included his regular participation on the degree team and purchaser for the baseball committee as well as helping at the catechist breakfast and the fall cookout at St. Joseph’s nursing home in Oak Cliff. Andy joined the council in August 2008. He served as Grand Knight during the 2010-11 and ’11-12 fraternal years. He now serves as one of our trustees. Susan is in her 29th year as a flight attendant for American Airlines. Madison is 11 and in the seventh grade at St. Elizabeth of Hungary Catholic School in Oak Cliff. The Gozas live in Cedar Hill and typically attend the 5:30 Saturday Mass, during which Andy oversees the hospitality ministers, Susan often is a Eucharistic Minister and Madison is an altar server.
