November Luncheon Presentation:
Nicole Gustafson
St. Luke’s Parish Administrator
Nicole will speak about St. Lukes and its rich history in Jamestown. Before joining the staff at St. Luke’s in 2023, Nicole volunteered on the Altar Guild, as a Sunday School teacher, and served a term on the vestry. She loves the people of St. Luke’s and the church’s intent to serve not only one another, but the whole community. As Parish Administrator, Nicole’s primary areas of responsibility include administrative support to clergy and staff, service to parishioners and visitors, and facilities management.
Momina Di Blasio
Manager, New Neighbors Coalition
Momina is the manager for St. Lukes immigrant support ministry, connected with both Journey’s End and the New Neighbor Coalition. She will be speaking about her work with these organizations.
Raised in Northern Virginia, Momina has a Bachelor of Arts in Music from George Mason University and a Master of Public Administration from State University of New York Brockport. Currently, she serves on the Education Solution Team of the Chautauqua County Inclusion, Diversity, Equity, and Access Coalition, and sits on the local Audubon Community Nature Center’s IDEA Committee. Previously, Momina was a mayor-appointed member of the City of Jamestown Commission on Human Rights from November 2020 to November 2023.
Momina feels a strong commitment to advocating for and supporting marginalized individuals, across all spaces, in a way that is rooted in intersectionality and inclusivity. As an immigrant with firsthand experience regarding the challenges non-American born individuals may face, her passion lies with promoting language-accessibility, pushing for immigrant equity, and advocating for cultural humility in her professional and personal life.
Momina and her spouse moved to the northside of Jamestown over four years ago. She is so grateful to have found her way to this tight-knit community and looks forward to their future in Western New York, with their three dogs, forever the objects of her undying adoration.
Guests will be charged for meals if not cancelled by noon on Tuesday, November 17th. We accept Venmo and Credit Cards at check-in desk.
