Hello! My name is Richard (Rich) Kucera and I am both honored and humbled to have been chosen to serve all of you and our parish on the Parish Pastoral Council. My wife of nearly 21 years, Cathy, and I joined St. Albert the Great in 2012. We have two sons, Jacob (14) and Adam(12), and a daughter, Lillian (9). Jacob attends St. Ignatius High School while Adam and Lillie are students at St. Albert the Great School. I earned two undergraduate degrees from The Ohio State University and my masters and doctorate from the University of Akron. I am a Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist (CRNA) and am employed by Consultant Anesthesiologists Incorporated. We provide anesthesia services to Mount Carmel St. Ann’s Hospital in Westerville, OH. At St. Albert the Great, I am an Extraordinary Minister of Holy Communion, a Mass Coordinator, a Mass Announcer, an adult leader with Boy Scout Troop 526, and one of the chairmen of the St. Patrick’s Day Benefit. I look forward to working alongside Fr. Estok and you, the parishioners of St. Albert the Great, to strengthen our faith community and to
continue to discern God’s plan for us as servant leaders in North Royalton and in the world.
