Connie Mackin
Treasurer
During the years that her parents were living in different elder care facilities, Connie developed a love for the residents and wanted to help meet their spiritual needs during the most important last years of life. Her own mother, Joyce, prayed the rosary with the residents of a local nursing home even though she was close to needing a nursing home herself! The invitation to serve The Rosary Team as Treasurer was accepted with joy. A recent graduate of the Catholic Biblical School, she has led prayer groups and Bible studies and loves to serve Jesus and his Church.
Connie is the wife of a deacon, mother of six, grandmother of three. She is currently working as an Accounting Manager and has seventeen years of experience in public accounting working for a variety of companies, including non-profit organizations.

Fr. Shaun Galvin
Fr. Shaun is the pastor at Immaculate Conception parish in Lafayette, CO. An alumni of CU Boulder, Fr. Shaun’s faith and relationship with Christ blossomed at St. Thomas Aquinas campus parish leading him to serve as a FOCUS missionary after graduation. It was during his first year as a FOCUS missionary that God clearly revealed His will for Fr. Shaun to become a priest.
Michael Markham
Michael's passion for the rosary comes from his mother's example of leading a holy life. Although she passed nearly twenty years ago, she left Michael with a well-worn copy of the Scriptural Rosary booklet (and her rosary, of course), through which she demonstrated her trust in the Lord through numerous difficulties in her life. Her example re-ignited Michael's dormant faith and led him to ponder God’s call in his life. He’s delighted to offer the Rosary Team guidance, prayer, technology, and other resources.
Michael is married to Michele and has two grown children. He co-founded a software business in Broomfield called Conga and recently retired as Chief Technology Officer. He will complete a Master of Arts in Theology from Catholic International University in 2024. Michael and Michele graduated from the Denver Catholic Biblical School and the Denver Catholic Catechetical School, attending at their parish, Immaculate Conception in Lafayette.
