Hi, my name is Keith DiSano, and I am the Finance Council Chair at St. Michael the Archangel Catholic Church. My wife and I have been married for 32 years and have two adult daughters—our oldest lives in Carmel, Indiana, with her husband, while our other daughter resides in Raleigh. We have been parishioners at St. Michael for 30 years and are grateful to be part of such a strong and welcoming faith community.

As Finance Council Chair, my primary responsibility is to help ensure St. Michael remains a strong provider of religious, educational, and related services. The Finance Council plays a vital role in maintaining the parish's financial stability by working closely with the pastor and parish staff to ensure that budgets are balanced, actual spending is conservative, and resources are managed responsibly.

I am a Certified Public Accountant with nearly 40 years of experience in Finance, Accounting, Acquisitions, Operations, and Management. I spent five years working at two large international CPA firms before spending nearly 35 years at IBM in various finance-related roles. I currently work for a consulting firm. My professional background has given me the financial expertise and strategic planning skills needed to support my role on the Finance Council.

Outside of my council duties, exercise is an important part of my routine, and I start each day at the gym. At this stage in my life, I also devote much of my time to helping my 93-year-old mother, who still lives independently. Most of all, I enjoy spending time with my family.

What I enjoy most about serving on the Finance Council is knowing that I am contributing to the well-being of our parish and ensuring that parishioners' contributions are managed and spent responsibly. In addition to the Finance Council, I currently serve as a Hospitality Minister (Usher) and have previously been involved in the Marriage Preparation ministry, Stewardship ministry, and the Capital Campaign.

For those considering getting more involved in parish life, my advice is to explore ministries that align with your interests and gifts. There are so many ways to serve, and becoming engaged in parish activities is a great way to strengthen both your faith and your connection to the community.
