Tessie Nguyen serves Our Lady of Grace parish as the Family Life Coordinator. She walks with families in preparing for the Sacrament of Baptism from infant to age 6, prepares and coordinates with couples who are seeking the Sacrament of Matrimony, and assists families who have lost a loved one prepare for their funeral.  Her hope and prayer is to be an instrument for God, to help strengthen the family unit and marriages. She and her husband, Tim, have homeschooled their 5 children with a Catholic education through Seton Home Study. She enjoys a good cup of coffee and prayer time in the morning, going to daily Mass, sitting in God’s presence in Adoration, and praying the rosary. More than anything else, she loves her vocation as a wife and mother.
