Our New Coordinator of Children’s Faith Formation for 4th-6th Grade and Family Catechesis

Hi, my name is Jeanne Klaes. My husband and I moved to the area in 1997 and were parishioners at St. Anthony’s for fifteen years. Since the merger of the parishes, we have been parishioners of St. Patrick – St. Anthony. Raising our five children in our Catholic faith has been some of our greatest memories and highlights. Helping parents to fulfill their role as the primary educator to their children in the Catholic faith is a true passion of mine, which I believe has been inspired by the Holy Spirit. I am excited and honored to be a part-time Coordinator of Faith Formation for 4th-6th Grade and Family Faith Formation here at St. Patrick – St. Anthony. I am looking forward to working with the students and parents on this exciting journey as we learn more about our faith, grow deeper in love with Jesus, and strive to be saints!

Our New Coordinator of Catechesis of the Good Shepherd

Hello, my name is Heather Feldpausch. My husband and I have been blessed with 6 children ranging in age from 18 to 6 years old. We have been parishioners at St. Patrick – St. Anthony Parish for almost 20 years. Over those years we have become invested in our faith formation programs while experiencing spiritual growth as a family. I have served as a catechist for grades 1-4, a small group leader for 7th and 8th grades, and a station leader for vacation bible school. Part of our spiritual growth as a family comes from everyone being involved in our parish. My husband and children have served in various volunteer positions and our children have participated in the faith formation programs and received their sacraments here. I am enthusiastic about the opportunity to now serve the parish in the role of Coordinator of Catechesis of the Good Shepherd and Sacramental Preparation. I am a firm believer that parents are the primary catechists for their children and I look forward to providing opportunities for families to grow spiritually, as individuals and as a family. I am excited to meet all of you as we begin faith formation this year.
