Saint Ita Interview with Ed Stranc

Title: Saint Ita Interview with Ed Stranc
Description: In this interview with Saint Ita parishioner, Ed Stranc, we discuss all things Saint Ita. Specifically, we discussed his time at the church, his lifetime involvement with the parish, his thoughts about Mary, Mother of God, and the role of social media and religion in today's society. Having held multiple positions of power in the parish, Ed Stranc is very dedicated to supporting St. Ita and now Mary, Mother of God. He praises the diversity which has permeated St. Ita and Mary, Mother of God his whole life. A pertinent issue discussed is the reforms needed in how the Catholic Church operates with dwindling numbers and funds. He praises the aid and change the Friars have brought to the parish. Stranc was a vocal supporter of the merger, knowing that the church would not survive without change. He was even directly involved in the initial connections with St. Thomas. The main issue the parish is facing today is a struggle with bringing in youth.
