Larry & Mary Ann Scotchie FOCCUS Ministry Coordinators

Larry and Mary Ann Scotchie hail from Youngstown and Cleveland area of Ohio. They have been members of St. Mary Magdalen for over 33 years. It was within this parish environment that they raised their 6 children - 2 girls and 4 boys. Many of their children have followed in their parents footsteps and now are married and involved in ministry in their parishes. The unmarried exception, Father David, is assistant pastor at St. Peter and Paul's Catholic Church in Goldenrod.

They are now blessed with 8 grandchildren and one on the way. Larry and MaryAnn have been involved with numerous ministries over the years. At this time, they have seen great value in preparing couples for FOCCUS ministry--that is training couples to mentor engaged couples in the values of Catholic Marraige and Family life. They are always looking for couples married 10 years or more who would be willing to take part in this ministry
