Thomas Podraza

Subdeacon Tom was born and raised in Chicago. He has been a parishioner for more than 40 years and is married with 3 children and 5 grandchildren. He found Our Lady of Lebanon church while on a Saturday bike ride and started attending the liturgy regularly. He changed rites from Roman to Maronite because he was greatly impressed by the Maronite Church's traditions and spirituality. He served on the parish council, as an usher, and as a parish administrator until he was ordained subdeacon on February 15, 2015. He continues to serve at our 9:30am liturgy.
