Deacon Jack Yarbrough manages the One-On-One Ministry at Our Lady of Grace which brings the Eucharist to the homebound and ministers to those who are going through trying times and experiencing grief.

Deacon James H. Toner was ordained to the diaconate on 8 May 2004 at the beautiful Cadet Catholic Chapel of the U.S. Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs, Colorado.  He holds a doctorate in political science from the University of Notre Dame in South Bend, Indiana, and he has written numerous books, essays, and reviews in the fields of  Catholic theology, military ethics, and moral-political philosophy. Deacon Toner has taught at the U.S. Air War College (AL), at Norwich University (VT), at Holy Apostles College and Seminary (CT), and at other colleges, including many years of coaching both high school and college baseball teams.  He has been assigned to Our Lady of Grace since 2010 and, although being ostensibly retired, enjoys the privilege of continued service at OLG.  Deacon Toner and his late wife Rebecca were raised in Monson, Massachusetts, and they have three sons and twelve grandchildren. 

Marya Fancey joined the music team at Our Lady of Grace in September 2023. She is also a part-time Lecturer in Organ at UNC Greensboro where she teaches organ lessons and organ-related courses.

A graduate of UNCG with a DMA degree in Organ Performance, she studied André Lash (organ) and Andrew Willis (harpsichord and fortepiano). In 2017–18 she received a Fulbright Student Scholar grant to carry out her research on sixteenth-century organ masses in Krakow, Poland. In June 2023 one of these masses was played during the Extraordinary Form for the Feast of Corpus Christi at Our Lady of Grace. It was the first known use of this music for a mass (not a concert) since the manuscript fell out of use in the mid-19th century.

Prior to moving to Greensboro in 2012, she served as music director and organist at Bethlehem Lutheran Church in Aiken, SC for five years. She has over twenty years of experience as a substitute organist in Baptist, Catholic, Episcopal, Lutheran, and Presbyterian churches. Her past positions include adjunct music professor, apprentice organ builder, assistant music editor, private teacher (piano and organ), and assistant librarian. She has presented concerts on organ, harpsichord, and piano in the southeastern US and Poland. Her performances frequently feature compositions beyond the standard canon of organ literature.

When not being an active musician, she enjoys hiking, cooking, reading, and spending time with family and friends. The happiest part of her Sundays is hearing the congregation worship in song with the organ. Therefore, parishioners, sing boldly and sing out!

Amanda Johnson is the Director of Religious Education at Our Lady of Grace! She attended Ave Maria University and completed a Master's Degree in Moral Theology at Holy Apostles College and Seminary.

Amanda oversees Religious Education, Adult Catechesis, Marriage Preparation, teaches RCIA and our post-marriage program. 

In her spare time, she loves hiking, trying a new recipe, or spending time with her family. Amanda plays violin, piano, and is also familiar with cello. She is a Tolkien and C.S. Lewis lover and yes, will try to incorporate Lord of the Rings into her teaching about the Faith any chance she gets!

Hi there! My name is Elizabeth (Liz) Herpy, Youth Minister here at Our Lady of Grace Catholic Church. I have been in this role since December of 2022, and have enjoyed ministering to the many wonderful youth of the parish! I also oversee the Confirmation Preparation program and Young Adult Ministry!

My love for youth ministry began when I myself was a teen in a youth group in my home diocese of Cleveland, Ohio (Go Browns!). But before I was part of any youth ministry, I learned a great love of God and His Church from my family. It is now a great joy to walk with the Lord and His children towards Eternity here in Greensboro, NC! Verso l’alto (to the heights!)!

Outside of my role here at Our Lady of Grace, I enjoy playing and writing music (with various instruments), gardening and wildflower gathering/identification/pressing, ballet, and spending quality time with my friends and family (including 6 nieces and nephews)!

If you see me around campus, please say hello, as I would be happy to meet you!

Pax et bonum!
