Family of the Month - The Donaldson Family

The Donaldson Family

The Knights of Columbus Council 13139 is proud to announce that the Donaldson

Family is being honored at St. Peter as our Family of the Month. George and Mary Beth

have been longstanding members of our Parish since 1993.

Originally hailing from Massachusetts, George was raised in Upstate New York and retired just last year after a long career in international logistics. George and Mary Beth are the proud parents of a daughter and  twin sons. Their daughter lives in Gainesville and she and her husband both work at the University of Florida and are blessed to have three children who are often visited by George and Mary Beth. One of the Donaldson sons has recently

become engaged and currently lives in Hoboken, New Jersey and works in Manhattan

as an executive at Cisco Systems. Their other son lives in the Pacific Heights

neighborhood of San Francisco where he lives with his wife on one year. He is working

for a private equity firm and she is a teacher at a local school.

George is a familiar face around St. Peter, where he has volunteered over the years for

Food for Families, the Hospital Ministry, and has been both and Altar Server and

Eucharistic Minister. In addition, George frequently attends the Men’s Breakfast, which

is held weekly in the Parish Hall at 6:30 am for all interested male parishioners. George

is also in the process of joining our Knights of Columbus Council, and we are all thrilled

that he is joining our Brotherhood at St. Peter.

Mary Beth has also Ministered at Food For Families and is deeply rooted in working

with Hands Together For Haitians, which is focused on supporting education, health and

development projects in Haiti. Mary Beth has visited Haiti multiple times and has plans

to do so again in the future.

We wish the entire Donaldson Family continued health and happiness, and we all

extend our gratitude to George and Mary Beth for their tireless service.
