St. Michael's of the Valley

SEXTON Darrin Testa

Darrin Testa is the sexton for St. Michael’s.  

He began his employment with St. Michaels in early July of 2023.   

His past experience is grounds keeping and landscaping at Seton Hill University in Greensburg.  

In his free time Darrin likes to hunt and fish.  He is very much an outdoorsman.  

He is happy to be now serving at St. Michael’s and work on improving the grounds and beautification of 

St. Michael’s.   

Darrin is constantly making our Church Grounds a blessing.

One of Darrin’s latest outdoor projects was trimming of the bushes in front of the office. What a big improvement this is. Take time to enjoy the beautiful landscaping and improvements Darrin is making to the outdoor area around the church. His biggest challenge is keeping all the wildlife away from his newly planted plants.

The Sexton is an integral position on the church staff, responsible for keeping St. Michael’s buildings and grounds clean, orderly, and safe by performing basic preventive maintenance, repairs, organization and routine cleaning. The Sexton is a liaison with outside service providers and contracted buildings and grounds businesses.
