Lara has been married to her husband for eleven years, and they have two wonderful children. Being a wife and mother is her favorite and most rewarding role.

The Lechlitner family discovered Holy Cross through friends at church and one of Lara’s college acquaintances. They began their journey here when Lara’s oldest daughter started at the age of three. Over the years, they have been blessed by many of the staff and community. They believe God has led them to Holy Cross through people and answered prayers. They are truly grateful to be a part of the Warrior family!
