Since Sejong’s founding in 1992, Ms. Priore has been an integral part of its operations.  The rock who so faithfully executes so many of the unglamorous, seemingly thankless minutes behind the scenes, Ms. Priore leads all registration, bookkeeping and staffing activities, to name a few.  Ms. Priore works part-time at Our Lady of Mercy Church, volunteers as organist at Sunday Mass, performs outreach and assistance as part of the Lazarus Ministry, and also volunteers with the homeless.
