Rick Goulart
I’ve been a broadcast journalist turned public relations leader at Pfizer, Cigna and Bank of America. An advocate for consumers to better access health care or financial services to live a good life. But it’s my lifelong Catholic faith that best defines me. Jesus became my advocate as a young boy in California, my guide through adulthood and all its twists and turns. With my wife, Dorothy, we raised two sons and a daughter in Connecticut, each now focused on growing their own family. Our first grandchild prompted a move to Edina in 2021 from the Virginia Beach area.
Through all of our moves, I’ve found myself finding Jesus in others at Catholic parishes: as a lay leader, lector, small group member, a mentor to young adults as well as teens about to be confirmed. Catholic discipleship, that I’ve continued here at OLG. Each of us has a unique, lifelong journey on a path forward with Jesus guiding the way. I look forward to enhancing how He meets us on that journey together at OLG, so that this community may better expand our outreach of service and connection with the larger community around us.
