President: Chelsie Roby
Chelsie is a San Jose native who grew up in Almaden, graduating from Leland High School and California State University Long Beach. She became a member of the Saint Christopher Parish in 2013 when she went through the RCIA program to receive her baptismal, reconciliation and confirmation sacraments. She and her husband, Matt, have two boys: Hudson (9) in 3rd grade and Auston (5) who will be joining the Kindergarten class this fall. Prior to covid, Chelsie volunteered at both school and parish events. She especially enjoyed the Antique Show where she would run activities in the kids crafts room and coordinate desserts for the dining room.
Chelsie currently works at a preschool in San Jose where she manages their marketing and coordinates events throughout the year. She is excited to bring back some of the traditional events at St. Chris as well as launch some new ones! She can’t wait to welcome new Ladies' Guild members and be a part of such an amazing group of women!

Treasurer: Erin Doyle
A native of San Jose, I met my husband Ben when we were both in high school and volunteered with the Santa Clara Junior Theatre (now the Roberta Jones Junior Theatre) - but it took us nearly 20 years to finally get married! We both left the Bay Area for college (I went to business school in Portland while we went to flight school in Arizona), but many years later we made our way to the Bay Area and reconnected. We currently live in Campbell and have a 6th grader (Paxton) at St. Christopher (Paxton was baptized at St. Chris in 2010). I've been a CPA for over 10 years and currently work as a Financial Controller at Truebeck Construction in San Mateo. I'm very excited to be part of the Ladies' Guild team this year.
