PETE MCDONNELL
Class of 2027
General Introduction:
I began attending Christ Church in 2014 in support of my mother, Marion “Kit” McDonnell, who was a lifelong member. After her death in 2018, I became a member in my own right and with continuing special regard for the loyal 8:00 AM Dustan’s band of which she was part of. Professionally, I began my career in Hospital Administration at Rush Medical Center, Chicago, and facility planning with Trinity Health here in Michigan. I then led a strategic market development practice linking major employers and health systems. I continue to work in market analysis and development in a wide range of industries. My wife, Paula Mueller McDonnell, and I live in Bloomfield Hills and have proudly raised three adult children.

CCC Mission:
I am most grateful to Christ Church for the remarkable teaching and modern placement of Jesus Christ’s message by Father Bill, Pastor Manisha, and Father Chris. They strengthen us spiritually every day- insights, prayer, practices -not to mention the work of the congregation and our beautiful facilities. All of this is to help us make room for Jesus and follow His word, the word of our Father. We are so blessed here at Christ Church Cranbrook! It would be a privilege to support our wonderful clergy and church as a member of the Vestry.
