Cami Chandler – Passionate about Christ and the Church
Cami was born in Great Falls and moved to Billings when she was six. Some of her fondest memories of her childhood include having tea with her grandparents who lived a block away from her home. She grew up watching her grandparents lovingly care for her uncle who had a brain aneurism. The bus would drop her off at her grandparents’ home every day and she would often find her grandmother in the middle of a rosary or devotion.
This early example of Catholic faith influenced Cami greatly. She has been a parishioner at St. Thomas the Apostle Parish in Billings for more than forty years. Attending Mass at St. Thomas was a true family affair as her parents, grandparents, aunt, cousins and sisters all attended. After studying communications at the University of Montana, Cami married Dave in 1991.
They are proud that both of their daughters were married in the Catholic Church and now attend Mass with children of their own. Cami and Dave love spending time with their four grandchildren, all baptized into the faith. The family is still filling up that same pew at St. Thomas!
Cami owns a small business importing promotional advertising and marketing products from all over the world. She joined the Board of the Catholic Foundation of Eastern Montana at the urging of Bishop Michael Warfel. Cami commented on her service as a Foundation Board member, saying, “I pray that I am able to use my gifts and talents to benefit the Foundation and ultimately, the Catholic Church in Eastern Montana. I am passionate about the vitality and strength of the Church as it has affected me in so many personal ways. My Catholic faith has been the most valuable gift my parents gave me. I want to see the Church thrive and grow forever.”
