Faith Formation
I am so happy to be here in Shreveport and really looking forward to this new journey. My husband Tom and I have moved with the company he works for six times in our 35-year marriage, this seventh move was for my job! With the “work from home” options since COVID-19, we were able to make this move to Shreveport. We are originally from Omaha, Nebraska but most recently lived in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
Almost 15 years ago I was a Catholic School teacher when then, Monsignor Malone, through the prompting of the Holy Spirit invited me to be the Director of Religious Education at Christ the King in Little Rock, Arkansas. I spent seven years under his direction in the parish which honestly should equal a Master’s in Theology! I learned so much from him and grew deeply in my faith. From Little Rock, we moved to Calgary, Alberta Canada where I worked as the DRE for the Cathedral in the Diocese of Calgary. We spent three years in Canada and then moved to Pittsburgh, where I worked as the Director of Faith Formation for a group of four parishes.
I look forward to meeting and working with all the members of this community here in Louisiana. Both Tom and I really feel guided to this place and can’t wait to see what God has in store for us.
