Stephanie Pedersen, provincial director of development, recently celebrated 20 years with the Capuchin development office. To mark the occasion, she and her family celebrated evening prayer and dined with the friars at St. Francis Friary, Denver, on Thursday, Sept. 14.

Stephanie began working in the office as administrative assistant to Fr. John Lager in 1986 and became director of the office in 2001, when Fr. John was assigned as executive of Samaritan House. She has played an integral role in every aspect of fund-raising for the Province, including the organization of the annual Brown Robe Benefit.

The friars thanks Stephanie for her many years of dedicated service!
