William Bitzenhofer
My name is William Bitzenhofer. I have been attending Risen Savior since my family moved to Apple Valley in the mid 1980's. I stopped going after I moved out but started attending again in the early 2010's.
Currently I am the Accountant at Valley Natural Foods. In January will be my 26th year at the company.
I enjoy golfing, bowling & softball. I also enjoy traveling when I have the time.
I have been on two mission trips to the Sister Parish in Gris Gris, in 2015 & 2017, an absolute eye opening experience.

Robert Q. Heimerman
I have been a member of Risen Savior since 2003 and was previously on Risen Savior’s Finance and Audit Committee. My wife, Kris, and I live in Burnsville and have two adult daughters, one married and living in Chicago and the other living in South Minneapolis.
I have been a banker for 40 years, with most of those years as a commercial lender in the south metro area. I currently am employed at BankVista in Chaska, MN.
My interests include tennis, golf and all things sports (and hopefully grandkids some day!).
I look forward to using my finance background and experience to assist our parish in any way I can and appreciate the opportunity to be a member of the Finance Council.

My name is Sherwin Pasillos and I am very excited to be part of the Risen Savior Church.
I was born and raised in the Philippines, and in the last 23 years, I have been living in the Northern Mariana Islands, a U.S. territory in the Pacific. Family led me to Minnesota as my youngest sibling has been living here for over 10 years. I decided to move to be closer to her and her family. I grew up Catholic, as most Filipinos do, going to Church on Sundays and observing most of the same traditions observed here in the parish.
I went to a Catholic high school and university, where I graduated with a degree in accounting. Thereafter, I earned my license and worked in various accounting and finance roles; and most recently as the Finance Officer in the Diocese of Chalan Kanoa in the Mariana Islands. The diocese in the Marianas is multicultural - Chamorros, Carolinians, Americans, Filipinos, Koreans, etc.
Coming from this background, I am excited about the rich mixture of cultures here in the Risen Savior Church. I look forward to meeting not only other Filipinos, but also everyone else in the parish.
I truly appreciate the trust and opportunity to be of service as Parish Administrator.
