Who's Who

Executive Director
Sarah A. Thoma
 |
|
Beverly has an extensive
background in secretarial support from working in England for the BBC, to the
State of New Jersey as a stenographer, and most recently at Lutheran Social
Ministries of New Jersey. Because of this, she has an understanding of
non-profit organizations and seeks to utilize her skills at Interfaith
Caregivers.
A faithful member of
Redeemer Lutheran Church, Beverly has worked with an intergeneration program,
connecting teenagers with senior members of her church. She has also taught
Sunday School and tutored high school students.
“Having lived with and taken
care of my mother, aunt and uncles, I truly understand the need for this ministry. It’s also important that
caregivers be given some time to take care of themselves and get the support
they need.
Interfaith Caregivers provides them with the respite they need.”

Coordinator of Volunteers
A new member of the ICT team, Jane Latini
comes to us with a strong background in
education. She holds a BA in Elementary Education from the College of New Jersey
and a MA in Administration and Supervision
from Georgian Court University. Jane served as Assistant Principal at St.
Gregory the Great School for four years and teacher for 10 years. Under her
direction and leadership, the school obtained its initial Middle States
Accreditation. In addition, she guided local, regional, and diocesan committees
from their inception to fruition. An active member of her church, Jane is a
lector, lay Eucharist Minister, a catechist, and a facilitator of a small group
faith sharing.
Jane has three children: Janeen, Joseph, and Joanna and four grandchildren:
Joey, Mia, Sophia, and Angelina. Her husband,
Joe, is a deacon at St. Gregory the Great Church, and Jane assists him in his
ministry. “My journey of care giving for my beloved parents has heightened
further my compassion, sensitivity, and appreciation for the elderly and
disabled. ICT is a ministry of hope.
With the profound commitment and dedication of the Group Leaders and Volunteers
hope abounds. Facilitating the match of the care receiver with a compassionate
volunteer is exhilarating and life-giving work. It is truly a privilege and a
blessing to be a part of the ICT family.”
