It's easy growing up for siblings to enter into rivalries at times and cause a lot of headaches for parents over bickering and fighting.  Fr. Jonathan was always cautious when it came to entering into battle with his sister Beth as a result of her knowledge in kicking butt.  After a few knocks to the head and arm bar submissions Fr. Jonathan thought it would be best to use the knowledge of his sister to better the neighborhood girls.  Ms. Bethanne Slavinskas has competed in a variety of competition and has won numerous belts and medals.  She has knowledge in Brazilian jiu jitsu, muay thai, no-gi, Judo and stand up (not the comedy kind either).  She curretly holds a brown belt.  She trains daily and is graciously volunteering her time to educate females of our parish in learning techniques to be able to defend themselves while growing in strength not just physically but in mind and spirit.  Beth is better known as Ms. S by her students at St. Peter’s Elementary School where she teaches.
