Parish: Saint Patrick, Erie
A long-time professional peer and friend of Mike Vereb’s, Jim Martin, first introduced him to the mission of the Catholic Foundation. It wasn’t long after that Mike and his wife, Marie, decided to plan a charitable gift to the Foundation in their will. Mike’s career as an accomplished insurance professional, now as Erie Market Leader at The Reschini Group, drew him into board service over the years. “My perspective and involvement serving on Catholic grade school and high school boards for the last eleven years will be helpful in the Catholic Foundation's mission of creating an impact that supports Catholic values,” Mike describes.
Both Marie and Mike are quick to share how important faith is in their lives. Mike’s motivation to serve also runs deep. “My parents were both heavily involved at Saint Gregory Parish in North East. My mother worked at the school for over 20 years and my father held board and committee positions at the school and church for over 40 years. Without question it was their example that led me to be involved.” The Vereb’s two children attended Our Lady of Peace School and Cathedral Prep. They are members of Saint Patrick Parish in Erie.
