Parish Council
A message from our Parish Council Chair, Diana McNeill
It is a privilege to serve our IC Community as the Chair of the Parish Council, and I look forward to working with Hilton Martinez as co-chair. I started attending IC 40 years ago as a Duke undergraduate, and our family has been members now since 1987 when we returned to NC after 5 years in Tucson, Arizona. I am married to David and we have 4 grown children: Jonathan, Matthew, Jenna, and Cameron. I am an endocrinologist at Duke and also direct Duke AHEAD (Academy for Health Professions Education and Academic Development). Our family often attends 9:30 am Mass where I am a Lector, Eucharistic Minister, and teach Liturgy of the Word for Children. I hope to listen well, learn always and serve our IC community with your support.
